Pakistan Warns of Imminent Indian Strike Within 36 Hours Amid Escalating Tensions Over Pahalgam Attack

In a stunning and urgent development, Pakistan’s Information Minister announced on Tuesday that the country has obtained credible intelligence suggesting India is planning a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours, allegedly using the recent Pahalgam incident in Indian-Occupied Kashmir as a false flag pretext.

The minister emphasized in both a press conference and an official post on X (formerly Twitter) that Pakistan is fully prepared to defend itself against any act of aggression, warning that India will bear full responsibility for any consequences that may destabilize the region.

🔴 Backdrop: The Deadly Pahalgam Attack

The rising tensions come in the wake of a mass shooting in the Pahalgam area of Indian-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 people were killed and 17 others injured after gunmen opened fire on tourists.

Victims include 25 Indian nationals and one Nepalese citizen
India has accused Pakistan of involvement — an allegation Islamabad strongly denies
Pakistan has condemned the attack and called for an independent investigation

🌍 Regional Fallout and Rising Tensions

In response to the incident, India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, a critical water-sharing agreement between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Pakistan, in turn, has closed its airspace to Indian flights, signaling a dangerous escalation.

Earlier this week, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar issued a strong but measured statement:

“Pakistan does not seek conflict, but any provocation will be met with full force.”

🛡️ Pakistan’s Official Stance: Prepared, Not Passive

The Information Minister’s statement made it clear:

Pakistan has verifiable intelligence of imminent Indian military action
The alleged justification—the Pahalgam incident—is viewed as a manufactured narrative
Any military engagement by India will be considered an act of unprovoked aggression

“Any misadventure by India will receive a decisive and proportionate response. The responsibility for regional destabilization will rest solely with New Delhi,” the minister stated.

🧭 What This Means for Pakistan, the Region, and the World

This development places South Asia once again on high alert, particularly as both nations:

Are nuclear-armed
Have a volatile history of military standoffs
Share deep-rooted tensions over Kashmir and cross-border militancy

The global community—including the UN, U.S., China, and Gulf states—is likely to be monitoring the situation closely. Any confrontation could have severe economic, humanitarian, and geopolitical implications.

📢 Conclusion: Critical Hours Ahead for South Asia

With military escalation looming, the next 24 to 36 hours could be pivotal in shaping the future of India-Pakistan relations. Pakistan’s warning is a clear signal to the international community to take urgent notice and intervene diplomatically before tensions spiral out of control.
