Pakistan double crosses America, announces 6 new land routes to Iran amid Hormuz blockade

Islamabad: In a significant geopolitical pivot, Pakistan on Thursday opened six land routes to Iran, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz blockade.

And that marks a far more structural shift than the market has traditionally acknowledged. Countryโ€™s elderly population set to expand sharply The momentum behind senior living in…
