Pakistan struck back after an Iranian airstrike earlier this week. China, which has influence over both countries, needs to get the two sides to deescalate.

The Islamic Republic launched attacks against a jihadist group’s base on the Pakistan side of its border. What comes next could further inflame the region.

After a two-decade partnership, Pakistan’s answer to Washington’s demands to “do more” on Afghanistan is “absolutely not.”

Kabul resident Ali Hassani, 28, told The Daily Beast that threat of being caught up in the violence was worth it for the chance to save his three sisters from Taliban rule.

Newly in power, the Taliban is making big promises on women’s rights. But these Afghan women aren’t counting on it.

Thousands of Afghans who helped the U.S. military and its allies during the bloody two-decade war are literally dying to get out of Kabul.

A source in Kabul told The Daily Beast that Taliban fighters recited verses from the Quran in a victory celebration as they overtook the presidential palace.

Beijing just can’t wait for the U.S. to get out of the way.

The Trump administration has shown its allies once again—this time India’s Narendra Modi—that when push comes to shove, it backs away.

Even if most of the world’s attention is focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, the signs of an Iran-U.S. conflagration grow stronger by the day.
