Mr Hunzi: Iran and India and then, the gaslighting by Pakistan

Gaslighting on Pakistan

By Amarynth

The following video from Mr Hunzi is from around 10 days ago.  I kept it at the time to compare with outcomes.  This was before the epic funeral, and before the Memorandum of Understanding was breached in total.

There is currently a fashionable trend.  If one talks about India, one just absolutely has to contrast with Pakistan.  You will hear this in Mr Hunzi’s video.  This is a false premise.  We have to go back to the BRICS dogma, and some accept the BRICS precepts as dogma, something like the ten Commandments.  It is so that the concept of ‘no interference in the local affairs of others’ is causing a joy and kicking up the dust for the middle countries, believing that they may now do what they want to do.  Nobody may interfere.  Pakistan still carries the brutality against Imran Khan where his health is deteriorating and his treatment is no different than Israel’s treatment of jailed Palestinians.  The current Pakistani leadership are the ones that stuffed him in jail and took power, but they do not take any responsibility.  ‘No interference’ is now a dogma because BRICS says so.  This is then one issue from BRICS that seriously must be assessed, as it is akin to security, and then the second part, indivisible security, that nobody pays attention to.  They only remember security.  Take a look at Europe and it is clear.

So BRIGS values are now changed into dogma by the middle countries that have not thought through what a world value of multipolarism really is.  It really does not mean issues like the treatment of Imran Khan goes away, but these new upstart middle countries believe that their sins are forgiven, because … BRICS.  All they see, is an opportunity to climb the ladder to get closer to current world leaders.  After taking a look at Mr Hunzi’s video, correct on Iran and India but misleading on Pakistan, we will take a look at why Pakistan is trying to worm themselves into a renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding.

The following article (and many others) show clearly why Pakistan is so intent to recovering the Memorandum of Understanding.  In short, they are out of luck much more critical than many others, should the Strait of Hormuz close on a longer term.

Analysts at Pakistan Institute of Development Economics have modeled a three-month maximum-intensity disruption scenario and arrived at cumulative losses approaching $9 billion. This is much more devastating than the balance-of-payments crises in the past that have repeatedly forced Pakistan to the IMF for emergency support.

Pakistan entered this crisis with 10–14 days of petroleum reserves, near-zero fertilizer stockpiles, an almost total LNG dependence on the now-disrupted Qatari corridor, and a remittance base centered in the conflict zone. The government’s emergency austerity measures — fuel price hikes, government shutdowns, school closures, navy escorts for merchant vessels — are buying time. They are not resolving the structural vulnerability.

Pakistan is staring four levels of crisis in the face.  This is why I call their work together with Qatar now, a desperate attempt at remedial work, but called ‘negotiations’.

What does the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz mean for Pakistan?

A Quesion:  Can Pakistan, which is completely vulnerable to current circumstances and desperate for an IMF bailout be at all trusted as a so-called mediator?

Let’s take a look two more Pakistani ‘secret mediations’:

1. $4 billion question: Pakistan launches diplomatic push in Libya while arming one side

👉 Pakistan is quietly maneuvering to mediate an end to Libya’s brutal civil war, even as it inks a massive, multi-billion-dollar arms deal with one of the warring factions.

➡️ Since the fall of Gaddafi in 2011, Libya has been a fractured state. In the West, the UN-recognized Government of National Unity (GNU) in Tripoli is backed by Turkey and Qatar. In the East, the Libyan National Army (LNA) under Khalifa Haftar is supported by Egypt, the UAE, and Russia, with its power base in Tobruk .

➡️ Pakistan has reportedly launched a secret mediation mission between the rival factions, according to Reuters and several local media outlets. The US is “aware and involved.” Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey are said to be encouraging the initiative.

➡️ This diplomatic push is not occurring in isolation. According to multiple reports, Pakistan has finalized a defense cooperation pact with the LNA valued at over $4 billion. The agreement, one of Pakistan’s largest-ever weapons export deals, was signed during a December 2025 visit by Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, to Benghazi .

➡️ The deal includes the supply of 16 JF-17 Thunder fighter jets (co-developed with China), 12 Super Mushak trainer aircraft, plus equipment for land, sea, and air forces, with deliveries expected over 2.5 years.

2. Pakistan and Turkiye sign strategic minerals, energy pact

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited Turkiye for talks with President Recep Erdogan on trade, energy, transport, and mining. The goal: boost bilateral trade from $1.3bn to $5bn.

💬 “Turkiye has a significant edge in technology and resource funding of these kinds of projects which in the future could benefit both states economically, as well as strengthen political engagement,” says Bilal Hyder Simair, research officer at the Centre for Pakistan and Gulf Studies in Islamabad.

🔸 Energy

Turkiye’s state-owned Turkish Petroleum Overseas Company (TPOC) secured five exploration concessions ($300M+). Pakistan gains access to seventh-generation drilling vessels, advanced seismic tech, and hands-on engineer training. Turkiye is opening a TPOC office in Islamabad — signaling a long-term strategic presence.

🔸 SEZ & IT

A Special Economic Zone in Karachi will host Turkish manufacturers with low costs and fast-tracked entry via the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) — a “one-window” operation for businesses. IT growth areas: e-commerce, software, telecoms — joint ventures with Turkish tech firms.

🔸 Critical minerals

Pakistan aims to shift from LNG imports to mining copper, cobalt, antimony, and rare earths. Turkiye brings capital and expertise. Signed memorandums of understanding (MoUs) target joint extraction and processing.

🔸 Balochistan infrastructure

A $390M, 1,350 km railway from Chagai mines to the national network was approved. The Karachi SEZ will serve as a logistics hub. The Balochistan Mines and Minerals Act 2025 aims to create a clear investor framework.

What this changes

🇵🇰 Pakistan: less energy dependence, new jobs, tech transfer

🇹🇷 Turkiye: new markets, strategic foothold, critical mineral access

🤝 Both: from tactical deals to a long-term strategic partnership

Let us ask the question again_

Can Pakistan, which is completely vulnerable to current circumstances and desperate for an IMF bailout, while trying to do business with Turkiye as well as Libya, be at all trusted as a so-called Iranian mediator?  How strong is the empire’s control of Pakistan with these friends?  Do you remember what just happened at the NATO summit with Turkiye?  The 2nd strongest army in the NATO block as well as Trump’s besty friends, loudly proclaimed.

I say Pakistan is the brood parasite in the bunch. Of course they can continue with their business, but as a mediator for Iran? I have no faith.
