Global aggression and Donald Trump's psychological militarism: The world economy on the brink of collapse
(Special Report: Journalist Malik Sarfaraz Hussain Awan) The Middle East is once again engulfed in gunpowder and flames. The American leadership, drunk on global power, has created a crisis that has brought the entire world to the brink of economic and defense collapse. As the president of the world's most powerful country, Donald Trump's recent statements and actions have forced us to think whether he is a wise leader of a great superpower or is suffering from a serious psychological and aggressive disease. It is clear from his every other statement that he has become indifferent to the ground realities and the value of human lives. The truth is that President Trump does not need the Strait of Hormuz or Iranian oil at this time, but he needs a proper and urgent mental treatment, so that he can save the world from the fire of the terrible war towards which he is rapidly moving.

Fifth week of US and Israeli attacks on Iran: Tensions rise further
(Writing and analysis: Journalist Malik Sarfaraz Hossein Awan) The fifth week of the ongoing US and Israeli military operation against Iran has ended today. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) today released video of airstrikes targeting drones, tanks and missile launchers in Iran. These attacks resulted in massive explosions in the central Iranian city of Isfahan, where thick smoke was seen rising. In addition, attacks were also carried out near the international airport in the city of Mashhad. US President Donald Trump, addressing the nation, said that the US is close to achieving its strategic goals against Iran. He announced that severe attacks on Iran will continue in the next two to three weeks and said, "We will send them back to the Stone Age where they belong." Trump also said that countries shipping oil through the Strait of Hormuz needed to show courage. The Iranian military responded quickly, threatening "devastating, widespread and more severe" attacks. Immediately after Trump's speech, Iran fired a large number of missiles towards Israel. Explosions were heard in Tel Aviv and other areas. Israeli air defense systems intercepted most of the missiles, but missile debris injured at least 5 to 14 people near Tel Aviv. It was the largest missile barrage from Iran on Israel in recent weeks. Iran also launched missile attacks on Gulf countries. Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia disabled several missiles. A fire broke out at an airport in Kuwait, which was extinguished. Iranian officials said their military capabilities were still there and they would take "more devastating" actions in response. According to confirmed figures so far, at least 2,076 people have been killed and 26,500 injured in the US and Israeli attacks in Iran. Iran has rejected any request for a ceasefire and said that the fighting will continue until the US and Israel withdraw. Analysis: Situation Overview and Possible Outcomes Today’s developments once again bring the complexity of the entire conflict to the fore in a bloody reality. Imagine smoke rising in the streets of Isfahan, people fleeing their homes, and sirens blaring at Mashhad airport. US President Trump’s address is not only a declaration of military confidence, but also a message that demonstrates his determination to completely weaken Iran. But the Iranian military’s swift and powerful response suggests that this war is far from over. Iran’s missile attacks on Israel and the Gulf countries are an example of a lively response that shows that despite technological superiority, subduing regional powers is not as easy as it seems. This situation is igniting a dangerous fire for regional stability. While the US and Israel claim to have achieved their strategic goals, the threats of further attacks on Israel by Iran’s proxy forces, especially the Houthis in Yemen, are dragging the entire Middle East into a wider circle. Oil prices are skyrocketing, the shadows of a recession are deepening in global markets, and millions of families are being affected. The pain of human losses is not just in the numbers, but in the cries of every injured child, the tears in the eyes of every martyred mother. Behind the 2,076 deaths and 26,500 injuries, there are thousands of stories that can never be told. Military experts say that if this fighting continues for two to three weeks, the pressure on Iran’s economy will be unbearable. The threat of a closure of the Strait of Hormuz could affect global oil supplies, which could shake the economies of Europe, Asia, and the United States. China and Russia are still silent, but if this conflict escalates, they could also come to the fore, which could change the balance of global powers. Iran’s military capability is not yet completely exhausted. It still has missiles, drones, and underground facilities that give it the power to fight a long war. On the other hand, the American and Israeli leaderships are also facing internal pressure. The American public is feeling war fatigue, while the barrage of missiles in urban areas in Israel is spreading fear. This war is not only military but also psychological and economic. If a diplomatic solution is not found immediately, this regional crisis could turn into a world war. This situation teaches us a harsh lesson that when the use of force is excessive, its consequences are always disastrous. The Iranian nation still has the courage to resist, while the United States and Israel will also have to take care of their own goals as well as human lives. The international community must intervene immediately. The United Nations, the European Union, and the Arab League must work together to develop a peace plan to prevent further bloodshed. The situation is changing rapidly. New news is coming in every hour. If this fighting continues, it will change not only the geopolitics of the Middle East but the entire world. Restoring peace now requires not just words, but urgent action.

Before I decided to become an author I always imagined the hardest part or at least the part that would require the most work would be writing the book itself and then getting it published. Little did I know, the real work would begin after my book was written and published.

Today's big sensation in the Iran-Israel-US war: Trump's ceasefire claim, Iran laughs and rejects
(Writing and analysis: Journalist Malik Sarfaraz Hussain Awan – Social Guardian / Humanitarian) According to verified sources Al Jazeera, New York Times, CNN, Reuters, AP and other reputable international news agencies, today, April 1, 2026, the Iran-Israel-US war has entered its fifth week and military operations remain intense, while contradictions in statements and a standstill in diplomatic efforts have further complicated the situation. This evening, Iran launched a large-scale missile attack on central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Bnei Brak, in which about 10 ballistic missiles were fired. Several places, including a coffee shop, were hit and at least 14 people were injured in the attack, including an 11-year-old girl. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have The Houthis claimed additional missile attacks on Israel in coordination with Iran and Hezbollah. On the other hand, Israel carried out more than 400 airstrikes on several cities in Iran, including Tehran, targeting weapons production sites, ballistic missile factories and infrastructure. The United States also intensified attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities and steel mills and used B-52 bombers, while more than 50 people, including a Hezbollah commander, were killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Speaking of statements, US President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social today that Iran's new regime president has requested a ceasefire from the United States and he made it clear that a ceasefire will not be considered until the Strait of Hormuz is open, free and clear, but Iran will be pushed back to the Stone Age. Trump also said that the United States will withdraw from the Iran operation in two to three weeks and will make an important address to the nation tonight, while he called NATO a paper. Iranian officials openly ridiculed Trump's claim, and the Foreign Minister and other officials called it false and baseless, making it clear that Iran is not asking for a ceasefire, but rather a complete end to the war, which includes guarantees to prevent recurrence of aggression, compensation, and Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials said that Iran is fully prepared to continue fighting until the threat of future aggression is eliminated. The diplomatic efforts are currently stalled. The United States had presented a 15-point plan through Pakistan, which includes sanctions on Iran's nuclear program, missile limits, and opening the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran gave a 5-point counterproposal. China and Pakistan have presented a joint 5-point peace plan, but due to lack of trust between the two sides, no concrete progress has been made. Iran has welcomed Russia as a mediator, but direct talks with the United States and Israel are not taking place. Trump has said that the war can be ended even without a deal. It can be done, but Iran has rejected it. The chances of ending the war currently seem limited because military attacks are ongoing, there is confusion at the diplomatic level, and the global economy is being severely affected by oil prices and the supply chain. A deeper analysis of today's situation is that it is clear from the contradictions in military intensity and statements that the war is still in its acute phase. The United States intends to withdraw in two to three weeks, but due to Iran's strong resistance, the condition of guarantees, and the actions of regional allies, the chances of ending it are less than 50 percent. Both sides are busy trying to weaken each other, but due to global pressure, economic damage, and threats to oil supplies, the path to negotiations may have to be kept open. Otherwise, this long war will further increase regional instability. And the diplomatic efforts of countries like Pakistan are playing an important role. But for success, it is necessary to restore trust between the parties, which does not exist at present. Therefore, today has been a mirror of the contradictions in military intensity statements and diplomatic confusion. If the talks on guarantees move forward in the future, the situation may change in two to three weeks, otherwise the disaster may spread further. This comprehensive report and analysis is based only on today's verified sources and does not include any speculation or rumors.

Day 31 of the Iran War: Gulf in Blood, Houthis Open New Front
Analysis Malik Sarfaraz Hussain Awan, March 30, 2026: Friends, analysts and international media viewers, today the situation in the Middle East has reached a very dangerous point and it is no longer just a war between Iran and Israel, but the entire Gulf, the Red Sea and the global energy supply lines have become entangled together, where the 31st day of "Operation Roaring Line" has witnessed intense operations on multiple fronts, and Iran directly targeted the Gulf countries with missiles and drones on a military camp in Kuwait, in which 10 Kuwaiti soldiers were injured, while the Emirates Global Aluminum Plant in the United Arab Emirates and the Al-Baha Factory in Bahrain were also attacked, which the Arab League has strongly condemned and Iran has given a clear message that whoever supports the United States and Israel will also be targeted. Meanwhile, the Houthis in Yemen have fired ballistic missiles and drones at southern Israel, blaring sirens as far as Haifa Port, and have announced that their operations will continue until the attacks on Iran and the axis of resistance stop. Which is a new serious threat to the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab, while on the other hand, the IDF has carried out more than 140 attacks on Iranian missile and drone production sites, including Tehran, and US forces have targeted Iranian command centers, as well as deployed 3,500 additional Marines to the region through the Pentagon, and planning is underway for a possible operation on Iran's main oil export hub, Kharkiv Island. Regarding important statements and contradictions, President Trump made the explosive claim on Air Force One that regime change has occurred in Iran, the leaders have disappeared, and the military has been weakened, and warned that if a deal is not made, Iran's energy facilities and oil wells will be completely destroyed. While the Iranian Foreign Ministry has described this US offer as unrealistic and excessive, it has vowed to respond with full force against a ground attack. And although Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain have condemned Iran's attacks, they are privately worried about the economic losses of the war because this war is now limited to limited attacks. It has escalated into a full-scale regional conflict and the entry of the Houthis is seriously threatening Red Sea shipping, and the biggest game changer is the arrival of thousands of US Marines and the possible occupation of Kharkiv Island, which will severely affect global oil supplies and lead to an energy crisis in Europe and Asia. So the biggest question now is whether there will be a ceasefire by the April 6 deadline or a ground operation on Kharkiv Island will start and set the entire region on fire. And my final thought is that the continuation of this war is now changing the geopolitical map of the region. If there is no ceasefire by the April 6 deadline, a possible US operation on Kharkiv Island will not only paralyze Iran’s economy but could also cause a 20-25% reduction in global oil supplies. China, which is Iran’s largest oil buyer, cannot tolerate this situation and is increasing diplomatic pressure through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, together with Russia. Pakistan, a long-standing ally of the Gulf states on one hand and a direct neighbor of Iran on the other, is now in a most delicate position. Islamabad’s policy of neutrality is commendable, but if the war spreads further, Pakistan’s oil imports, remittances, CPEC projects and border security will all be at risk. Should Pakistan now play an active diplomatic role? Can regional countries make Pakistan a platform for mediation? These questions are a major test not only for Pakistani foreign policy but also for the entire Islamic world. If today’s silence becomes tomorrow’s big price, history will not forgive us.
