US EditionPakistan’s top general calls on Afghanistan to pick between ties with Islamabad or Pakistani Taliban
Gen. Asim Munir launched a unified Defence Forces Headquarters and warned Kabul to cut ties with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan amid border clashes and rising security threats.
- On Monday at Rawalpindi, Gen. Asim Munir launched Pakistan's new Defence Forces Headquarters and warned Afghanistan's Taliban government to choose between ties with Islamabad or supporting the Pakistani Taliban.
- The deterioration followed months of cross-border violence that Pakistan blames on TTP's alignment with the Afghan Taliban and emboldening since the 2021 takeover.
- Earlier this year Munir rose to prominence after Pakistan repelled India in a four-day conflict, calling the operations a 'textbook example' and warning no one will test Pakistan's resolve.
- Kabul offered no immediate comment after the message, and a Qatar-mediated ceasefire has largely held since October but failed to produce a deal in November despite three rounds of Istanbul talks.
- The defence headquarters' creation positions Pakistan to boost coordination across land, air, sea, cybersecurity and information domains amid rising threats, seen against India‑Pakistan exchanges including May strikes linked to the massacre of 26 tourists.
