Pakistan Vows Full-Scale Response to Potential Indian Attack
Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stated the country is fully prepared for a potential Indian attack and will respond "with full force," escalating military tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations.
Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif declared that the country is fully prepared for a possible military confrontation with India. Speaking at an emergency government session, he emphasized that Pakistan would immediately deploy all available resources to defend its territory and people in the event of aggression. The statement comes amid rising tensions in the region and deepening disputes between the two countries.
Khawaja Asif stressed that Islamabad considers any threats from New Delhi unacceptable and will respond decisively if conflict escalates. According to him, Pakistan’s Armed Forces are on full alert, have conducted mobilization exercises, and rapid response units have been deployed to key strategic areas. Additional measures to enhance domestic security and surveillance along the Line of Control in Kashmir are expected soon.
Tensions peaked after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, effectively cutting off Pakistan from critical freshwater sources. In response, Islamabad suspended trade with India, closed its airspace, and announced military mobilization. Pakistani authorities declared that any Indian attempt to interfere with water flows would be viewed as a direct act of aggression.
Furthermore, India confirmed its intention to review the 2021 ceasefire agreement, further destabilizing regional security. The Indian government accuses Pakistan of supporting terrorist groups operating in Kashmir. Islamabad rejects these accusations, calling them attempts to justify escalation.
Amid this diplomatic deadlock and mutual blame, the international community is increasingly concerned. UN representatives and several countries have urged both sides to de-escalate immediately and return to negotiations. However, official statements suggest the opposite. Khawaja Asif’s comments mark the most forceful warning in recent months and serve as a direct message to India.
The history of conflict between India and Pakistan includes several wars and frequent skirmishes, particularly in the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region. Both nations possess nuclear weapons, and any escalation is viewed as a potential threat to the entire South Asian region. Experts warn that any miscalculated action could lead to a major military catastrophe involving millions of lives.
Local analysts note that the intensifying rhetoric may be driven by internal political motivations and attempts to foster national unity ahead of a possible military phase. Neither side appears willing to compromise. With diplomatic channels effectively blocked, the situation is heading toward further militarization.
Amid these developments, global actors including China, Turkey, Russia, and the United States have called for restraint. However, neither country has shown signs of backing down. The Pakistani defense minister’s remarks have only heightened fears of a looming large-scale conflict.
The coming days may be decisive in determining how the crisis unfolds.
