Trump's abuse and insults: A confession of the shameful helplessness of the American superpower in the face of Iran
Special Analysis — Journalist Malik Sarfaraz Hussain Awan: Trump's abuse and vulgar language are making his helplessness and political failure very clear. It is an established fact that when someone has no strength anywhere and fails to control his opponent, he resorts to abuse and insults. Donald Trump has now become a psychopath and this growing disease of his is not only seriously damaging the American state identity but has also led to disrespect for the presidency of the superpower. If we look in the mirror of history, the heads of the great states of the world have always represented the dignity and moral highness of their nation through their language, tone and style of speech. But when the president of a world power publicly resorts to abuse, threats, and vulgar language, it is a clear admission of his political, moral, and diplomatic defeat. Trump's statement about "sending Iran to hell" is not only an insult to religious sentiments, but it also reveals his deep disappointment and frustration. He has failed to subdue a nation that has bravely fought severe economic sanctions, pressure, and hardships for the past several decades. The traditional and limited response of the international organization, the United Nations, to the humanitarian actions of the Trump administration has proven the complete helplessness of this organization. This organization has now fallen below the global level and become the protector of the interests of only a few powerful countries. International laws are enforced only on weak and poor countries, while whenever any concrete action is attempted to be taken against serious crimes against human rights, the United States immediately thwarts it through its veto power. This illegal war imposed by the United States and Israel has now entered a very dangerous phase. The Middle East could turn into a fireball at any moment. The silence of the international community over Israel’s flagrant violation and blatant disregard for international law is clear evidence that the entire region is standing on a powder keg and a spark can ignite the entire region. Other countries in the region also seem to be busy trying to convince Iran to surrender to Trump in the name of limited and safe diplomacy. They are unable to put any pressure on the US President and Israeli interests. This regional hypocrisy is actually the result of fear, weakness and self-interest, where instead of stopping aggression, the oppressed are being advised to bow down. At the same time, Amnesty International and other international human rights organizations also seem to be limited to traditional condemnation. When children are separated from their parents in war zones, hospitals are bombed, and civilians are targeted, the limited and ineffective actions of these organizations cast a big question mark on their existence. By claiming to push Iran to hell in his threats, Trump is as if considering himself the master of heaven and hell. However, followers of all religions know very well who is the real master of heaven and hell and who will make the final decision on the future of mankind. This president, who claims to be a god in subdued words, today holds the most important position in America, whose abusive and indecent statements are creating intense hatred and anger all over the world. America has now become a former superpower that has lost its moral superiority and is now trying unsuccessfully to control the world only through economic terrorism, sanctions, and pressure. Depriving ordinary citizens of medicine, food, and basic necessities is a serious crime against humanity. The American people and the world should get rid of a mentally ill and semi-crazy person like President Trump and take practical steps to promote true humanitarian compassion, justice, and peace on a global scale. If this is not done, his policies will have extremely dangerous and worrying consequences. Because of Trump, many countries in the world are under severe economic pressure, where people are burning in the flames of war on one hand and dying from lack of basic necessities on the other. This destruction is not limited to humans alone, but due to Trump's war and economic measures, animals, birds, trees, water sources, forests, and the entire global ecosystem are also being subjected to silent massacre. The lust for wars has put the entire ecosystem of the earth in grave danger. If the whole world still remains limited to political statements and traditional condemnation and fails to put real pressure on Trump, the dream of world peace will be shattered forever.

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.

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.

The world on the brink of crisis: American leadership, three war fronts and the dark shadow of global catastrophe
Special Report by Malik Sarfaraz Hussain Awan: The world's only superpower, the United States, re-elected Donald Trump as president in the 2024 elections, and Trump's second term, starting in January 2025, is causing severe conflicts and economic pressure on the global level under the "America First" policy. At the end of February 2026, joint air operations by the United States and Israel began direct attacks on Iran, which has plunged the Middle East into the flames of full-scale war, and despite the passage of a month, this war continues, resulting in the death of thousands of innocent people and the global economy suffering the most severe setbacks, while President Trump's unilateral cancellation of the Iran nuclear deal in his first term, the closure of the US embassy, The transfer of Jerusalem and the policy of complete and blind support by Israel have actually formed the basis of today's horrific crisis that has fueled instability in the Middle East, and Trump's trade war with China, distrust of NATO allies, and the selfish strategy of "America First" have badly affected the balance of global power, resulting in new and escalating conflicts. The world is currently fighting on three major fronts simultaneously. On the first front, Russia's invasion of Ukraine since 2022 is still in its fourth year. In March 2026, Russian forces launched a regular spring and summer offensive, in which, according to Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrsky, an average of hundreds of attacks were carried out in 24 hours between March 17 and 20 alone, and thousands of soldiers were killed and injured. Although Ukraine has also taken some counterattacks and drone strikes on Russian oil facilities have But the continuous supply of weapons by the US and Western allies is prolonging this war and completely paralyzing the European economy and supply chain. On the other major front, on February 28, 2026, the US and Israel launched large-scale air strikes on Iran under 'Operation Epic Fury' and 'Roaring Line', targeting Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure, killing several high-ranking officials. In response, Iran fired retaliatory missiles at Israel and US bases, including Gulf countries, which has now spread to Lebanon and seriously jeopardized the security of peaceful and economically stable Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Similarly, as a third major maritime crisis, the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have threatened to attack ships in the Red Sea, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has affected a large part of global trade, forcing shipping companies to take longer routes. This crisis has destroyed the global supply chain and caused Brent crude oil prices to plummet. Crude oil prices have risen from $105 to $118 per barrel in March 2026, which is causing a devastating storm of inflation in poor and developing countries. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has also warned that if these wars continue, global economic growth will be severely affected and developing countries, including Pakistan, will suffer from severe starvation and poverty. Therefore, according to impartial analysts, the current US leadership does not seem to have a clear strategy to get out of these crises and the decisions seem to be based on temporary reactions and panic. If the major powers do not immediately set the table for negotiations, the threat of a third world war could be very real. And since history is witness that when leaderships fail, public protests always become a source of major change, it is time for the American people to stop waiting for the next elections in 2028 for the sake of their country's declining global reputation and the survival of humanity, and to act today. Let's take to the streets and start a peaceful but vigorous protest movement because if they continue to remain silent spectators, future generations will never forgive their silence. Finally, the international community, especially Pakistan, and all developing countries should learn a hard lesson from this crisis that the weak always bear the brunt of the selfishness of global powers. Therefore, there is an urgent and urgent need to restore peace, make vigorous diplomatic efforts, and make balanced policies to save the world so that humanity can be prevented from falling into the pit of this horrific disaster.
