Indian Army Chief: Pakistan's Nuclear Threats are Political Bluster, Not Military Intent
- •Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated that Pakistan's nuclear sabre-rattling is solely by politicians, not during DGMO talks.
- •High-level military communications between India and Pakistan, including DGMO talks, have not involved nuclear threats and led to border ceasefires.
- •Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif made unguarded remarks in May 2025, threatening nuclear deployment if existential threats arose.
- •Pakistan conducted back-to-back missile tests amidst tensions, interpreted as a display of capability and resolve.
- •Close aides to Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif, like analyst Najam Sethi, also echoed threats of tactical nuclear strikes against invading forces.
Why It Matters: Pakistan's nuclear threats are political rhetoric, not reflected in military dialogue, which focuses on de-escalation.
