Amid mounting challenges at home, including economic pressures, emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Pakistan has issued a strong nuclear warning to the country’s adversaries. Pakistan’s Commander of the National Strategic Command (CNSC), General Syed Aamer Raza on Saturday stated that any military miscalculation would invite retaliation beyond expectations.
Pakistan's Nuclear Warning
Speaking at the passing-out parade at the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) in Kakul, Raza stated that Pakistan did not seek war but its armed forces remained ready to defend the country. His remarks focused on nuclear deterrence, border security, Kashmir and regional tensions. He warned that any attempt to threaten Pakistan would be met with a strong response.
“Our stance is clear-cut and unwavering towards those who harbor aggressive intentions against Pakistan beyond our borders," General Raza told the graduating cadets. “There is no room for conflict or war in the nuclear environment, and any miscalculation will be met with a response that far exceeds the imagination and expectations of those who initiate it,” he added.
He said the country’s strategic forces were ready to defend every part of Pakistan.
Raza also stressed that cross-border infiltration would not be tolerated under any circumstances. During his address, he also referred to Operation Sindoor and alleged that Pakistan’s adversary (India in this case) was trying to weaken the country through proxy terrorism and other unconventional methods.
Pakistan Highlights Diplomatic Role
Raza further highlighted Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts to reduce regional tensions. He said Pakistan had played a constructive role in efforts to ease international disputes. He also called for an immediate end to human rights violations in Palestine, bringing the issue into his wider message on regional and global security.
India's Fiery Response To Nuclear Blackmail At UN
Earlier on October 10, India had delivered a strong response to Pakistan at the United Nations General Assembly's First Committee, warning that nuclear weapons must not be used as tools to threaten other countries. India firmly stated that it will not bow to nuclear blackmail and that its defence capabilities are shaped by its security needs. The response came after Pakistan raised the issue of Jammu and Kashmir during a meeting on disarmament and international security.
Exercising India's right of reply, Anmol Sher Singh Bedi, Senior Adviser (Disarmament) at India's Permanent Mission to the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, said, “First, any terrorist attack against India will receive a fitting response. Second, India will not bow to nuclear blackmail. Third, India will make no distinction between those who sponsor terrorism and those who mastermind it.”
