Pakistan Army Chief Backs Terror Under Guise of ‘Legitimate Struggle', Rakes Up Kashmir Again
Last Updated: Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir blamed India for escalating tensions in the region and claimed that Islamabad was a "net regional stabiliser". Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir once again threatened India and took a hardline stance on Kashmir, blaming New Delhi – without any evidence – for the recent tensions in the region in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Notably, India and Pakistan exchanged cross-border hostilities for four days after India launched Operation Sindoor against terror camps in the neighbouring country. India struck several air bases and dealt a crushing blow to Pakistan Army's capabilities, while also effectively repelling missile and drone attacks. Despite this, Munir claimed India had twice undertaken acts of unprovoked aggression, marked by a 'troubling absence of strategic foresight", and vowed a decisive response to any future Indian aggression. Speaking at the Pakistan Naval Academy in Karachi on Saturday, Munir claimed Pakistan gave a 'resolute response" to India, despite reaching out to New Delhi after sustaining heavy losses during Operation Sindoor. Munir appeared to endorse acts of terrorism under the pretext of what he described as a 'legitimate struggle". 'Pakistan, despite grave provocations, acted with restraint and maturity, and demonstrated its commitment to regional peace and stability, which has led to Pakistan's role as a net regional stabiliser," he said. Munir also assured that Pakistan would respond with a swift and befitting response to any future aggression. Munir also raked up the Kashmir issue, saying, 'Pakistan is a strong advocate for a just resolution of the Kashmir issue in accordance with United Nations resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people." He also called for a 'just and peaceful resolution" to the Kashmir issue for lasting peace in the region. Days before the Pahalgam terror attack, Munir had reignited the issue by claiming that Kashmir was Pakistan's 'jugular vein". Over 100 terrorists, including top commanders like JeM leader Abdul Rauf Azhar and family members of Masood Azhar, were killed in India's Operation Sindoor. The conflict lasted till May 10 afternoon when the Pakistan side requested a ceasefire in view of the heavy losses suffered by it in the attacks by the Indian Air Force. First Published:

Netizens react to Trump's Iran bombings; calls for Barron Trump to enlist in US army after Iran strikes
As US bombed three Iranian soil last week amidst Israel-Iran conflict, different kind of battle is being waged online and it's squarely aimed at one unexpected figure: Barron Trump. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 19-year-old son of President Donald J. Trump, who just wrapped up his freshman year at NYU, has found himself at the center of a growing social media firestorm where netizens reacts to Trumps Iran bombings with the growing demand of enlisting Barron trump in the US army. 'If You Want War, Send Your Own Kid' On X (formerly Twitter), many have echoed a common refrain: if President Trump is prepared to send other people's children into harm's way, shouldn't his own son be first in line? "Trump has us at war. Barron should sign up for the Army now", reacted one user. Another commented, "POTUS should order his son Barron to immediately enlist into US Army and be sent to fight Iran. Bravo' "And with the first pick of the 2025 US Draft, the US Army Selects…Barron Trump out of Mar-a-Lago" A political hot potato in combat boots There is no legal requirement for the children of US presidents to serve in the military, and Barron Trump, by all public accounts, has maintained a low profile since his father returned to office. The renewed scrutiny stems not solely from Barron Trump's personal choices, but from a broader debate over political accountability and military service. President Donald Trump, now serving his second term, avoided the Vietnam War draft five times, once citing bone spurs. No member of the Trump family has served in the armed forces. As the administration faces questions about the legality and consequences of the strikes on Iran, online discourse has increasingly invoked what critics label 'Chickenhawk Syndrome' — a term referring to political leaders who support military action without having direct personal or familial involvement in combat.
