"Pakistanโs response established the new normal of punishing the aggressor with strength. It denied India the space to normalise coercive conventional aggression under the nuclear shadow" โ Lt Gen (R) Mazhar Jamil, Adviser NCA at @IISS_org

Lt. Gen. (R) Mazhar Jamil HI(M), Adviser NCA & former DG SPD, highlighted Political Dialogue, Credible Deterrence, and Crisis Management as essential to Strategic Stability in South Asia.
He underscored that political beliefs and strategic thinking of states form the basis of policies that shape the strategic and security environment of the region. He stressed that sustainable strategic stability requires political leadership to prioritize dialogue and conflict resolution over military adventurism and coercive policies, particularly in a nuclearized environment.
Highlighting the unresolved Kashmir dispute, he emphasized that unresolved disputes require political solutions and sustained engagement, warning that military escalation between nuclear-armed states carries serious risks and cannot provide a durable basis for regional peace.
He raised concerns about nuclear and missile modernization, advanced space-based capabilities, and dual-capable delivery systems that increasingly blur the distinction between conventional and nuclear operations, combined with the absence of robust arms-control arrangements and institutionalized confidence-building measures.
Reflecting on the Pakistan-India crises of 2019 and May 2025, he stressed that responsible political leadership, strategic restraint and clear communication remain essential to crisis management, warning that assumptions about controlling escalation can prove dangerously misplaced under compressed decision timelines.
He highlighted Pakistan's concept of Quid Pro Quo Plus (QPQ+), a strong and calibrated conventional response within the framework of effective nuclear deterrence, emphasizing that deterrence rests not on rhetoric but on credible capabilities, strategic clarity and disciplined decision-making.
He also raised concerns over India's evolving sea-based nuclear capabilities, warning that deployment of nuclear-capable sea-based systems, in the absence of adequate transparency and notification arrangements, could introduce additional uncertainty into regional crisis dynamics.
Pakistan reaffirms its readiness to pursue dialogue on all outstanding issues and calls for objective international engagement in support of conflict resolution and regional stability.

Pakistan at the UN First Committee (9 Oct): India launched an โunprovoked military assaultโ last year and now claims a right to strike โat a time of its choosing.โ
Pakistanโs delegate: โThe notion that a limited conventional war can be fought and contained under a nuclear overhang is a dangerous delusion.โ
This isn't restraint โ itโs a recipe for catastrophe between two nuclear-armed states. The world can't afford Indiaโs โnew normalโ of strikes under a nuclear shadow.
#PakistanAtUN #FirstCommittee #NuclearOverhang #SouthAsia #Disarmament #UNGA81 #StrategicStability #Pakistan
Indiaโs shift toward commercialised missile production risks turning defence industrialisation into a driver of strategic instability.
As private interests converge with military imperatives, higher output could mean deeper arms competition in #Nuclear #SouthAsia.
In my latest piece for The News International, I argue that India's sharing of missile technology with private sector, presented as step towards defense self-reliance, could become an accelerator of a regional arms race.

The Restraint Paradox
President Putinโs @Valdai_Club line on Kaliningrad is being read as a threat. It is also a correction, and the correction is the more interesting part.
Since 2022, Russian nuclear โข๏ธ non-use has been converted, in parts of the Western debate, from a completed outcome into a precedent: red lines crossed, early-warning and long-range aviation assets struck, no nuclear reply, therefore the threshold is elastic and the next operation is easier to authorise. That is the restraint paradox. Non-use lowers the danger of the episode just finished. It can enlarge the menu of the episode that follows, precisely because a contingent result is mistaken for a standing permission.
The mechanism is the defenderโs whole response package โ conventional retaliation, attrition, diplomacy, residual capability โ read by the other side as a map for use/ non-use. The reading is conditioned by target function, systemic effect, perceived intent, attribution, what capability remains, and cumulative damage. None of those variables is fixed. A strike that looked bounded in 2024 does not carry the same meaning after further damage in 2026. Confidence rises while the conditions of the next decision are changing. That is how overconfidence forms.
The #Ukraine record does not reveal a stable Russian nuclear threshold, and it does not establish a safe zone for limited war against nuclear-associated forces. It shows bounded expansion, some correction, and persistent uncertainty. Restraint is evidence about an episode that has already closed. It is not a licence to repeat it, widen it, or relocate it.
Kaliningrad makes the distinction concrete. A direct attack, or a blockade treated as one, is not another drone strike on a bomber base. Putinโs formulation โ that the question of โall the weapons at our countryโs disposalโ would be immediately on the agenda โ does not disclose a trigger. It rejects the inference that silence so far is silence next time. France and Britain are nuclear powers; NATO is larger; neither fact converts non-use in Ukraine into a corridor around Russian territory.
The same error runs in both directions. Treating every warning as a bluff already called, and treating every warning as an automatic tripwire, are both ways of inventing a threshold the record does not contain. Arrogance, as Putin put it, is the path to the brink. The arrogance that matters analytically is the belief that a nuclear powerโs restraint has been priced, and can therefore be spent again.
