Pakistan Military Chief Warns of Imminent War with India

Tensions Rise Between India and Pakistan: Military Chief Warns of Lowered Escalation Threshold Tensions between India and Pakistan are escalating, according to a recent interview with General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, Chairman of Pakistan's Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee. General Mirza stated that troop levels on both sides are approaching pre-conflict levels, raising serious concerns about the potential for a wider conflict. The interview took place in an undisclosed location in Pakistan. "The threshold has been significantly lowered," General Mirza stated, highlighting a shift from conflict previously confined to disputed territories to a potential conflict encompassing the entire nations. This, he warns, represents an existential threat to Pakistan's 240 million people, particularly given its agrarian economy. The General expressed disappointment over a lack of evidence-based decision-making, despite Pakistan's offers for impartial and independent investigations. He emphasized the dangerous trend and its potential impact on investments, trade, and the lives of millions. The situation underscores the need for de-escalation and diplomatic efforts to prevent a major conflict.
