That is a dubious source, and it's not even very edgy or informative.

Oil prices in Pakistan have dropped. So how can we have a higher bill? We charge our consumers based on what we pay to buy oil. If we've dropped the price, it means we bought it cheaper......
Secondly, spot prices are the same all over the world. Whether in Middle East, America or China. By buying large quantity, the selling country can give you a discount, which is what we got from America and others and we reduced the prices a few weeks ago, giving that benefit to the public.
Thirdly, you brought in America, we do trade with them, its the largest export destination for Pakistani goods. We have a couple billions worth of surplus in the bilateral trade. So we have to purchase American goods too. It's "bi lateral" trade.
The three major things (outside of Pork), America exports are 1: Weapons 2: Oil 3: Electronics. Our entire front line critical weapon systems are now Chinese. Even F-16's are second tier. So we don't buy weapons from them anymore like we used to until the 90's.
That leaves us buying Oil and Electronics. Go to any computer market in Pakistan, 75% of new and used laptops and computers come from USA or through US businesses having locations in the Middle East or EU.

Mashkhel: Inauguration of Katagar Crossing Point — A New Era of Connectivity and Prosperity on the Pakistan-Iran BorderIn the border region of Mashkhel, Balochistan, the Katagar Crossing Point between Pakistan and Iran has been formally inaugurated for cross-border movement.
Inspector General Frontier Corps (South) Major General Bilal Sarfraz Khan graced the occasion as the chief guest and inaugurated the crossing point.
Member of the Provincial Assembly, Mir Zabid Ali Reki, also attended the ceremony.
The decision to open the Katagar Crossing Point for transit was made during a grand jirga held in Dalbandin, Rakhshan Division, on July 2, 2025, chaired by Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfraz Bugti and Corps Commander Balochistan Lieutenant General Rahat Naseem Ahmad Khan. In line with that decision, FC Balochistan (South), in close coordination with the district administration and Iranian authorities, completed all administrative and logistical arrangements through tireless efforts.
A large number of locals, tribal elders, traders, and children enthusiastically participated in the inauguration ceremony.
Speaking on the occasion, IG FC Balochistan (South) stated that the security and management of the crossing point will primarily be handled by the local community to prevent any unlawful activities.
He further revealed that the Jodhar Crossing Point will soon be opened for trade, and work on establishing a buffer zone is already underway.
The opening of the Katagar Crossing Point marks a historic and positive development for the people living in the border districts of both countries. It will serve as a milestone in promoting cross-border connectivity, cultural ties, regional stability, mutual trust, and shared prosperity.
