Worthy audience, we happen to seek all information from authentic resources & our forecast or inferences are not based on inconclusive foretelling despite that there is lot of fog of war around, yet suggested ambiance remains far from commercial pursuits as for as human wisdom supports us .Folks to begin this Article with a happy note? we believe for all of us most heartening news is that Israel has agreed to hold its ground offensive since some understanding is developing on exchange of prisoners & hostages. Another good news is that today COAS Pakistan Army in very strong words condemned Israeli air raids on defenseless people of Gaza & asked for immediate ceasefire & declared opening all doors for relief goods transportation & humanitarian assistant groups to reach Gaza on war footings whereas Russia, China, Iran ,KSA, UAE ,Qatar, Syria, Jordan, Lebnon, Iraq, Pakistan, Malaysia ,Indonesia, Yemen, Turkey, Libya, Oman, Kuwat, Bahran &Egypt have patiently decided to extend their military ,diplomatic, logistic, Financial assistance open heartedly to Hamas.It may also be safely assumed that military built up has started by Iran in Russian Air Bases ?in Syria, China reached ME waters, Russia immensely increased its offensive against Ukraine today, does that mean it is 100% against Israel& their cronies , yes of course ,what we can surely assume is that, it is baffling for West ,NATO & EU or it looks a catch 22 dilemma asking ?either to perish or to save mutual disaster at all cost ASAP?????

3???? .Worthy audience the United States has accused Iran of “actively facilitating” rocket and drone attacks by Iranian-backed proxy groups on its forces in Iraq and Syria. John Kirby, the White House national security spokesperson, said on Monday the US would not allow threats to interests “go unchallenged” after an uptick in?such attacks?over the last week as tensions rise across the region amid the?Israel-Hamas war.The US has thrown its weight behind Israel over the latter’s?intense air campaign?on the Gaza Strip, prompted by an unprecedented attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on October 7.US has rejected calls for a ceasefire as it says that ally Israel has a right to self-defense. “Iran continues to support Hamas and Hezbollah, and we know that Iran is closely monitoring these events and, in some cases, actively facilitating these attacks and spurring on others who may want to exploit the conflict for their own good or for that of Iran,” Kirby told reporters at the White House.

4 ?.Worth audience no doubt Iran politically backs Hamas as well as the Lebanese movement Hezbollah and Shia groups in Iraq, but rejects giving military support to these groups. “We know Iran’s goal is to maintain some level of deniability here, but we are not going to allow them to do that,” Kirby said, confirming that the US has sent a “few” military advisers to Israel with experience in “the sorts of operations that Israel is conducting, and may conduct in the future”. There was no immediate comment by the Iranian government. In recent days, Iranian leaders have warned that a ground Israeli offensive on Gaza would be met with a response from other fronts. “If the crimes of the Zionist [Israeli] regime continue, Muslims and resistance forces will become impatient, and no one can stop them,” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said last week. “The bombardment of Gaza must stop immediately.”

Is this your election campaign promises of supporting human rights across the globe? “The US administration has sent?naval support?for Israel in the past two weeks, including two aircraft carriers, other warships and about 2,000 marines in the Middle East. Washington has also promised major defense aid to Israel since Hamas’s attack that killed more than 1,400 people, mostly civilians. In Gaza, the Hamas-run Ministry of Health says?more than 6,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed during Israel’s relentless air raids that destroyed entire neighborhoods. What is that?
