Speaking to an international news agency, he stressed that rising tensions have reached a dead end—peace talks are off the table, and Islamabad must act to protect its sovereignty.

Despite India’s claims, none of Pakistan’s military bases were harmed in the recent drone incursions. Lahore’s air-defence systems stood firm, and reports of damage circulating in Indian media are nothing but baseless propaganda. “Our defences held strong,” Asif said. Could India’s exaggerations backfire?

Minister Asif revealed that Pakistan will adopt a comprehensive plan to strike back, targeting key Indian military installations to deter any future aggression. “We will hit them where it counts,” he declared. Which strategic sites might be on Pakistan’s list?

“Now is not the time for dialogue,” Asif warned. “We will take every step necessary to safeguard our nation.” Just yesterday, he hinted that prolonged hostility could even risk a nuclear confrontation—placing the onus squarely on New Delhi.

Asif also noted that Pakistani pilots could have downed more than six Indian jets during recent clashes. He accused Prime Minister Modi and the Indian army of internal discord and condemned any attempt to strike civilian areas as a disgraceful act.

With Pakistan’s resolve stronger than ever and its defences unbroken, the world watches with bated breath: Will Islamabad’s next move catch India off-guard?
