Pakistan is in the cross hairs of the American strategic and military command. On 18 March 2026, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued its, “2026 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community,” which stated on Page 25, “Pakistan continues to develop increasingly sophisticated missile technology that provides its military the means to develop missile systems with the capability to strike targets beyond South Asia, and if these trends continue, ICBMs that would threaten the U.S.”

The response of the ruling faction in Pakistan was weak and defensive, as expected. In a statement, the spokesperson of the Foreign Office of Pakistan said on 19 March 2026, “Pakistan categorically rejects the recent assertion by a United States official alleging a potential threat from Pakistan’s missile capabilities.” The ruling faction of Pakistan has adopted a defensive posture, which is a lethal mistake, when dealing with America, the Jews, and the Hindu mushrikeen. It is waiting, whilst the enemies of the Ummah build narratives, prepare, advance, and gather strength. It has been waiting since 31 October 2025, when Trump announced, “Pakistan’s been testing.” The interviewer challenged his opinion saying, “Not nuclear weapons, is my understanding.” Then, Trump asserted, “Of course they have.” It has been waiting since 2 March 2026, when the US Secretary of Defense said, “crazy regimes like Iran, hell-bent on prophetic Islamist delusions, cannot have nuclear weapons.”

Why must Pakistan adopt this weak defensive strategy in the face of the axis of evil, America, the Jewish entity, and the Hindu State?! Rejecting the assertions of the United States has as much weight for the United States, as its fabrication of false assertions in the first place. The United States does not need any sound reason to attack the countries of Muslims, as is clear from its crusades since 2001. Amidst a storm of rejections of its assertions, America attacked Afghanistan in 2001. Then it mobilized its agent Musharraf to attack the mujahideen in Kashmir, in 2002. Then it mobilized its advanced military base in the Muslim World, the Jewish entity, to attack Palestine. Then it attacked Iraq in 2003. In more recent years, amidst a storm of rejections of its assertions, the US has provided funds and weapons to the Jewish entity to attack Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and now Iran. The United States takes bold initiatives, advancing and strengthening, whilst the rulers of Muslims begin by rejecting and condemning, and end by conceding, surrendering, facilitating, and collaborating.

O Muslims of Pakistan, Their Strategic Community and Their Armed Forces!

Let us learn, from the calamity that has struck our Muslims brothers and sisters in Iran, about the danger of defensive posture. The ruling faction of Iran waited whilst America and the Jewish entity buried the people of Gaza under their houses, schools, hospitals, and masajid. It waited whilst Trump announced that he is making a new Middle East, whilst it is known that what the Americans call the Greater Middle East reaches Pakistan and Afghanistan. It waited whilst Trump announced that the Jewish entity must be made larger in size and influence within the region. It waited whilst America and the Jewish entity dismantled Iran’s Axis of Resistance in Lebanon. It waited as America and the Jewish entity spread their war beyond Palestine. It waited after Iran was attacked in June 2025, without taking the initiative. It waited as the Hindu State increased its coordination with the Jewish entity and America. The ruling faction of Iran even waited whilst the United States expanded its military deployment around Iran, sending aircraft carriers and energizing its surveillance outposts, including its embassies and consulates in Pakistan. Iran waited, issuing condemnations and rejecting assertions. And then Iran was struck with lethal force, whilst it was in a defensive posture, never having taken the initiative. Even now, Iran is fighting in a defensive and reciprocal posture, when it must take the initiative, including destroying the American aircraft carriers that are waging a war of attrition.

Let us learn from our Deen about how to confront the attacking enemies, that transgress the limits, not shying from beastly actions that even the animals of the jungle shy away from. Take the initiative against the Hindu mushrikeen as the Messenger of Allah (saw) did against the mushrikeen of Makkah in the Battle of Badr. Take the initiative against the Jewish entity, as the Messenger of Allah (saw) did against the Jews of Khaybar, when news reached him of the Jews conspiring with the mushrikeen to attack Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. Take the initiative against the crusaders, as the Messenger of Allah (saw) did in Tabuk, when news reached him of the forefathers of the crusaders, the Romans, preparing to attack. Take the initiative, gather your strength and fight the enemies, O Ummah of Islam! And the very first initiative is the immediate establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly Guided Caliphate), which will be a general leadership for all the Muslims, regardless of whether they are Arab or Ajm, Hanafi or Jafari. The Khilafah will sever all alliance with the United States. It will seal the embassies and consulates within the Muslim World, which are key surveillance outposts to guide US military offensives. It will unify the entire Muslim World under one Imam, ruling by all that Allah (swt) has revealed. It will gather the entire armed forces of the Islamic Ummah in a decisive battle to force the withdrawal of the United States from the lands of Muslims. It will mobilize the armies to liberate the occupied lands of Muslims, whether Kashmir or the Blessed Land of Palestine, from the river to the sea.

Allah (swt) said,

[وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ اعْمَلُوا عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنَّا عَامِلُونَ]

“Say to those who disbelieve, “Persist in your ways; we will certainly persist in ours.” [TMQ Surah Hud: 121].
