International calls for de-escalation have come from the European Union, United Nations, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other countries. Despite these efforts, Pakistan rejected dialogue and insisted its sole demand was an end to Afghanistan-based terrorism.

Pakistan's military leadership fundamentally misreads Afghanistan and wrongly assumes coercion can force Kabul into accepting unreasonable demands so embarrassing that even Pakistan's own government won't articulate them publicly. The Islamic Emirate stands ready for diplomatic solutions to prevent cross-border terrorism, yet Pakistan continues escalating through airstrikes that violate Afghan sovereignty. Pakistan bears responsibility for this dangerous trajectory when diplomacy offers the only viable path to regional stability.

Afghanistan's Taliban regime has broken every promise made in Doha by providing safe havens to terrorist groups like TTP and BLA that launch deadly attacks on Pakistani soil, forcing a defensive military response under international law. After exhausting every diplomatic avenue over three years, Pakistan exercised its sovereign right to protect citizens from cross-border terrorism emanating from Afghan territory. The Afghan regime must choose to dismantle terror networks instead of allowing India to use their soil as a proxy battlefield against Pakistan.
