of afghanistan Capital Kabul But After the air strike, the threat of a major war between Pakistan and Taliban is looming in the area. Pakistan carried out an airstrike in Kabul on Friday morning. Pakistani airstrike Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) Has been targeted. This attack has been carried out at a time when Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaki is on a visit to India. This attack is being seen as the beginning of a new phase of tension and conflict in South Asia.
Pakistan’s tension increased due to India tour
The timing of the attack is also considered special because it happened during the visit of Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaki to New Delhi. This is being seen as a sign of Pakistan’s increasing frustration. field Marshal Asim Munir is currently facing crisis from four directions. — India And External pressure from Afghanistan, and growing internal insurgency in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The situation is such that now the Pakistani Army has no new enemy left to blame for its failures.
Tehreek-e-Taliban (on TTP) target
Pakistan alleges that the Taliban government of Afghanistan is giving shelter to TTP terrorists in Khost and Paktika provinces. But the irony of the situation is that the Taliban, which Pakistan had supported and helped for years, has now become the biggest problem for it. Asim Munir’s challenges have now increased on many fronts. Apart from tensions with Afghanistan, India also remains a cause of concern for them, especially after the Pahalgam attack and India’s counter-operation ‘Sindoor’. on the western border Kabul relations deteriorate with finished Where Taliban is now refusing to obey Pakistan’s orders. Whereas within the country, extremism is increasing rapidly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where people are angry against Islamabad’s strict military policies.
Eye on deal with America
Asim Munir’s army is currently under immense pressure and is fighting in multiple directions with limited resources. These circumstances highlight Pakistan’s weakening system, faltering economy and diminishing control over the areas it controls.

This method is not new. In the 1980s, General Zia took advantage of the Afghan war and F-16 aircraft, while in the 2000s General Musharraf received American help and weapons in the name of the “war on terror”. Now General Asim Munir is also following the same path and trying to make America active in the region again. For this they are using rare mineral deals, mining rights and Pasni port as bargaining tools to maintain their military influence and privileges.
Afghan-Pak strategy failed
For many years, Pakistan’s army stuck to the belief that by controlling Afghanistan it could secure its western front against India. But now this strategy seems to be a complete failure. The Taliban, which was once close to Pakistan, is now clearly refusing to accept its instructions, while the TTP, born out of Pakistan’s own policies, is continuously attacking its soldiers. The situation is such that now Afghanistan is also losing its control in the face of Pakistan’s increasing aggression.
After the recent air strikes, Taliban officials have warned Pakistan of retaliation. Earlier in December 2024, when Pakistan bombed Afghanistan, 46 civilians were killed. This time the attacks on Kabul are making the situation more serious, which can lead to direct conflict between the two countries.
Munir’s so-called “Afghan-Pak strategy” has now completely shattered. The Pak Army, which was once a balancing act between Washington, Beijing and the Taliban, is now entangled in its own political maneuvers. Every attempt to show strength is now exposing its weakness. Growing rebellion within the country, weakening economy and isolation at the international level have completely collapsed Pakistan’s old power strategy.
