An alleged intricate plan by Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir is reportedly aiming to instigate major global powers, specifically the United States and China, to take military action against the Taliban in Afghanistan. This strategy is said to involve a calculated propaganda effort designed to portray Afghanistan as a rising hub of international terrorism. The objective is to pressure these superpowers into confronting the Taliban, effectively outsourcing a military objective that Pakistan itself cannot achieve.
The alleged scheme is characterized by its audacious hypocrisy. Pakistan, which has faced international scrutiny for its past links to terrorist organizations and individuals, is now reportedly positioning itself as a victim of terror originating from Afghanistan. This dramatic shift in narrative seeks to deflect attention from its own complex history with extremism and to build a case for international intervention against the Taliban regime. The move is seen as an attempt to leverage global concerns over security for strategic advantage.
Recent events, including an attack on US National Guard soldiers by an Afghan national and a drone strike in Tajikistan that resulted in the deaths of Chinese workers, are reportedly being amplified by Pakistan. The narrative being pushed is that these incidents, both with alleged links to Afghanistan, signal a new and urgent global terror threat. Pakistan is reportedly working to convince Washington and Beijing that decisive action is required to counter this growing menace emanating from Afghanistan.
In response, the Taliban has issued a strong rebuttal, accusing Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of fabricating incidents to incriminate them. Taliban officials suggest this is a deliberate attempt to undermine Afghanistan’s diplomatic outreach, particularly its improving relations with India and the international community. This counter-claim paints Pakistan’s alleged strategy as a desperate attempt to maintain regional influence by preventing Afghanistan’s normalization on the global stage.
