Now Trump is ready to talk with Iran without “pre-conditions”

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]US President Donlad Trump has said on Monday he would be willing to meet Iran’s leader “without preconditions” to discuss how to improve ties. However, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, within hours, set conditions before any dialogue with Iran.

According to Reuters, while addressing media persons in White House on Monday along with Italian PM Giuseppe Conte, Trump said, “If they want to meet, we’ll meet.” He further said, “I’d meet anybody. I believe in meetings, especially in cases where war is at stake.” He was responding to a question if he was willing to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

Observers believe that Trump has lately realized his mistakes by threatening Iran. On Tuesday last, while addressing Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) national convention in Missouri, Trump was quoted saying, “Iran is not the same country anymore, that I can say” and expressed his readiness to make a “real deal” with the country over its nuclear program.

Trump’s statement came after Iran’s tit-for-tat reactions and “mother of all wars” remarks from President Hassan Rouhani.

Trump claimed, “I do believe that they will probably end up wanting to meet. And I am ready to meet any time they want to. And I don’t do that from strength or from weakness. I think it’s an appropriate thing to do.”

“It’s good for the country, good for them, good for us and good for the world. No preconditions. If they want to meet, I’ll meet,” said the US president.

Responding to US President’s  statement Iranian President’s Hassan Rouhani’s advisor Hamid Aboutalebi said on Tuesday that any talks with the Washington  had to start with reducing hostility and a return to the nuclear deal.

“Respect for the great nation of Iran, reduction in hostilities, US returning to the nuclear deal… That will open the rocky path of the moment,” wrote Hamid Aboutalebi in Persian language on Twitter.

In May this year, Pompoe had set twelve conditions for talks with Iran, which were out rightly dismissed by Tehran.

Press TV says that Trump’s latest stance towards Tehran runs counter to his recent threats against Iran and pulling Washington out of multilateral 2015 nuclear deal, known as JCPOA “despite having the support of almost all US allies”.

Earlier in May this year, President Donald Trump had pulled out US from multilateral Iran-nuclear deal, signed by five permanent members of UNSC plus Germany known as P5+1 and announced to re-impose full sanctions against Tehran in two stages in August and November this year.

Earlier last week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, while addressing Islamic Republic Guards Corps (IRGC) in Tehran, said that “Trump should learn well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is mother of all wars.”

On 22 July, Donald Trump, was very aggressive while responding to Rouhani’s remarks.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]On July 23, Iran’s foreign minister Javad Zarif posted a response on his twitter account.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDYmxvY2txdW90ZSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10d2VldCUyMiUyMGRhdGEtbGFuZyUzRCUyMmVuJTIyJTNFJTNDcCUyMGxhbmclM0QlMjJlbiUyMiUyMGRpciUzRCUyMmx0ciUyMiUzRUNPTE9SJTIwVVMlMjBVTklNUFJFU1NFRCUzQSUyMFRoZSUyMHdvcmxkJTIwaGVhcmQlMjBldmVuJTIwaGFyc2hlciUyMGJsdXN0ZXIlMjBhJTIwZmV3JTIwbW9udGhzJTIwYWdvLiUyMEFuZCUyMElyYW5pYW5zJTIwaGF2ZSUyMGhlYXJkJTIwdGhlbSUyMCVFMiU4MCU5NGFsYmVpdCUyMG1vcmUlMjBjaXZpbGl6ZWQlMjBvbmVzJUUyJTgwJTk0Zm9yJTIwNDAlMjB5cnMuJTIwV2UlRTIlODAlOTl2ZSUyMGJlZW4lMjBhcm91bmQlMjBmb3IlMjBtaWxsZW5uaWElMjAlMjZhbXAlM0IlMjBzZWVuJTIwZmFsbCUyMG9mJTIwZW1waXJlcyUyQyUyMGluY2wlMjBvdXIlMjBvd24lMkMlMjB3aGljaCUyMGxhc3RlZCUyMG1vcmUlMjB0aGFuJTIwdGhlJTIwbGlmZSUyMG9mJTIwc29tZSUyMGNvdW50cmllcy4lMjBCRSUyMENBVVRJT1VTJTIxJTNDJTJGcCUzRSUyNm1kYXNoJTNCJTIwSmF2YWQlMjBaYXJpZiUyMCUyOCU0MEpaYXJpZiUyOSUyMCUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRkpaYXJpZiUyRnN0YXR1cyUyRjEwMjE0NzExOTYyNDI3MzUxMDQlM0ZyZWZfc3JjJTNEdHdzcmMlMjU1RXRmdyUyMiUzRUp1bHklMjAyMyUyQyUyMDIwMTglM0MlMkZhJTNFJTNDJTJGYmxvY2txdW90ZSUzRSUwQSUzQ3NjcmlwdCUyMGFzeW5jJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZwbGF0Zm9ybS50d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRndpZGdldHMuanMlMjIlMjBjaGFyc2V0JTNEJTIydXRmLTglMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0UlMEE=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Asim Munir appointed Pakistan’s first Chief of Defence Forces, to serve 5-year term

Field Marshal Asim Munir has been appointed Pakistan’s first Chief of Defence Forces, consolidating top military authority under a new constitutional amendment.

Published

on

Pakistan has named Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir as its first Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), marking a major restructuring in the country’s military command. The appointment was approved by President Asif Ali Zardari following a formal recommendation from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Munir to hold dual charge as COAS and CDF

According to the President’s office, Munir will serve concurrently as Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) and Chief of Defence Forces for a five-year tenure. The creation of the CDF role — introduced under the 27th Constitutional Amendment — aims to centralise top-level military authority.

This decision comes after days of speculation due to delays in issuing the official notification, which was originally expected on November 29, the day Munir’s previous three-year term as army chief ended.

Former Indian security official Tilak Devasher had earlier commented to media that the Prime Minister appeared to be avoiding issuing the notification, leading to confusion within Pakistan’s military command structure.

Zardari also approves extension for Air Chief

Alongside Munir’s elevation, President Zardari approved a two-year service extension for Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmad Babar Sidhu, effective from March 2026. The President extended his best wishes to both officers.

Munir, promoted to Field Marshal earlier this year, becomes only the second military officer in Pakistan’s history to hold this rank — the first being Gen. Ayub Khan.

Imran Khan accuses Asim Munir of mental torture, says sister after rare jail meeting

Imran Khan has alleged “mental torture” inside Adiala Jail, according to his sister who met him after weeks of blocked access. The family claims authorities are withholding information about his condition.

Published

on

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has alleged that he is being “mentally tortured” in prison and held General Asim Munir responsible for his continued isolation, according to his sister Dr Uzma Khanum, who met him inside Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail for 20 minutes.

Sister says Khan “angry” over isolation

Dr Khanum told reporters that her brother is allowed out of his cell only briefly and has no means of communication with the outside world. She said Khan expressed anger over the conditions in which he is being held, stating he remains confined all day with no access to his family or party members.

She also said Imran Khan directly blamed General Asim Munir — now seen as Pakistan’s most powerful authority, having consolidated military control and secured lifetime immunity for top officials — for the treatment he is receiving in custody.

Meeting follows weeks of denied access

The rare meeting came after weeks of barred family visits, which fuelled speculation about Khan’s health. His sisters earlier claimed they were assaulted when they sought permission to meet him, while his sons publicly alleged that jail authorities were concealing “something irreversible” about his condition.

One of his sons, Kasim Khan, told media that despite a court order for weekly family meetings, they had no direct or verified contact.

Family members also said prison authorities repeatedly refused entry to Imran Khan’s personal doctor.

Rumours and protests intensify

Before Tuesday’s meeting, neither his relatives nor his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf colleagues had seen him for over 25 days, triggering widespread rumours of his death — speculation that officials did not counter with proof of life even as pressure mounted on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government.

PTI’s Senator Khurram Zeeshan claimed Khan was being kept in isolation to force him into leaving Pakistan and accused authorities of withholding photos or videos due to fears over his influence.

The situation has sparked protests across Islamabad and Rawalpindi, including demonstrations outside the Islamabad High Court.

In jail since August 2023

Imran Khan, the 72-year-old former cricketer and World Cup-winning captain, has been incarcerated since August 2023. Rumours about his wellbeing first circulated from social media accounts in Afghanistan, at a time when both countries have been locked in military tensions over a border dispute.

Trump pledges permanent pause on migration from Third World countries in Thanksgiving message

US President Donald Trump declared that migration from all Third World countries will be permanently paused, criticising current immigration policies and announcing measures to remove non-citizens who he says do not benefit the US.

Published

on

US President Donald Trump has announced that he will “permanently pause migration from all Third World countries”, asserting that the move is necessary for the United States to “recover” and “heal”. His remarks were delivered in a Thanksgiving post, where he sharply criticised the Biden administration’s immigration policies and outlined sweeping measures aimed at restricting migration and removing non-citizens who, he says, do not contribute to the country.

Trump said he intends to reverse what he described as “illegal admissions”, end federal benefits for non-citizens, and strip citizenship from migrants who pose security concerns. He also reiterated plans to deport individuals he considers a “public charge” or “non-compatible with Western Civilization”.

The statement came shortly after two members of the National Guard were shot near the White House, an attack Trump called an “act of terror”.

One National Guard member dies after Washington shooting

Trump confirmed that Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, one of the two West Virginia National Guard soldiers shot near Farragut West Metro station on Wednesday, died of her injuries. The ambush occurred while Trump was in Florida.

The alleged shooter was identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who entered the US in September 2021, according to enforcement officials.

‘Reverse migration’ needed, says Trump

In his post, Trump said his actions aim to significantly reduce “illegal and disruptive populations”, adding that only “reverse migration” can address the current situation. He accused the Biden administration of admitting migrants through an “unauthorized and illegal” approval process.

Concluding his message, he wished Americans a Happy Thanksgiving but added that those who “hate, steal, murder, and destroy” would “not be here for long”.

Attacks on foreign populations and Minnesota officials

Trump also targeted Somali refugees in Minnesota, alleging that gangs from the community are creating fear on the streets. He accused the Minnesota Governor of failing to address the situation due to “fear or incompetence”.

He further criticised Ilhan Omar, accusing her of complaining about the US despite her origins in a “crime ridden” nation.

Comments on America’s foreign-born population

Citing Census estimates, Trump claimed that the US foreign-born population stood at 53 million, alleging that “most are on welfare” or come from “failed nations” or criminal backgrounds. He said American citizens continue to support this population despite personal discomfort.
