Pakistan broaches possibility of 'all-out war' with India, Defence ... Pakistan is gearing up for the possibility of an “all-out war” with India amid continued geopolitical tensions. The remarks followed a sharp warning from New Delhi that dubbed Operation Sindoor an “88-hour trailer” for its neighbour. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif stressed the need to remain “fully alert” on Wednesday — a week after claiming that Islamabad was prepared for a two-pronged clash with Afghanistan and India. “We are neither ignoring India nor trusting it under any circumstances. Based on my analysis, I cannot rule out an all-out war or any hostile strategy from India, including border incursions or attacks. We must stay fully alert,” he said. Pakistani officials had earlier accused New Delhi of “backing” an Afghanistan-led suicide bombing attack in Islamabad and claimed they were “ready for war” with both nations.
