The Indo-Pakistan clash of May 2025 was a magnificent display of courage, adaptability, innovation, and skill to harness the complexities and intricacies of emerging military technologies. The space, cyber, artificial intelligence (AI) domains, and the electro-magnetic spectrum have evolved to revolutionize modern warfare as decisive force multipliers.

The Pahalgam incident and the subsequent Indo-Pakistan clash have left massive paradigm shifts in the geopolitical, geostrategic and technological domains in its wake. A very brief, albeit fierce, high-tech, multidomain slugfest ensued which not only asserted Pakistan’s military and diplomatic superiority, reaffirmed deterrence at the strategic and operational levels, but also recalibrated the regional power calculus and strategic balance.

“Surprise” is a vital principle of war. Pakistan achieved this comprehensively in the national, strategic, operational and tactical dimensions against India during Operation Bunyannun Marsoos. It put up a superb whole-of-the-nation response, much against Indian expectations. Sublime diplomacy by its diplomats negated the Indian Government’s ill-founded media and diplomatic offensives. India, much to its horror, ended up isolated in the SAR and literally friendless beyond it.

The stage is set for an epoch-making geopolitical-geostrategic battle in the Greater Middle East Region (GMER) where a massive clash of vital national interests is underway. The US-led West & Israel Combine seeks status quo in the geopolitical and geostrategic domains of the GMER, while Iran’s potential military-nuclear-missile capacities and capabilities threaten it comprehensively.
A Nuanced Approach

The evolving geostrategic and geoeconomic environments make it imperative for Pakistan to secure its vital national interests. It must consider a multidimensional approach at the domestic, sub-regional, regional and extra-regional levels to not only contain terrorism but also create a favourable environment for the colossal mining initiative that it has undertaken. To that end, a Strategy of Concentric Circles, centred upon Afghanistan, may be considered.

The geopolitical Great Game continues to loom ominously in the background as Balochistan reels under unrelenting terrorist attacks, severe political instability, and unwarranted chaos. The US-led West and China appear to have a massive clash of interests in the South-Central Asian Region (SCAR) in general and the Afghanistan-Pakistan Region (APR) in particular.
