through military offensives as part of the new US strategy, the Pak officials have reportedly warned Washington regarding the negative consequences in the event the military operation does not yield any positive result.

According to reports, Islamabad has told US interlocutors that a major military offensive against the Taliban from both sides of the Afghan border, if ending in failure, will have negative consequences for the entire region.

According to Pakistain’s Dawn News, citing diplomatic sources, the key element in the new US strategy for Afghanistan is to launch a two-pronged military offensive that inflicts a military defeat on the Taliban and forces them to join the Afghan reconciliation process on Kabul’s conditions.

This comes as the foreign minister of Pakistain Khwajah Asif has told the Wall Street Journal that Islamabad would not allow the Afghan war to be fought on Pakistain’s soil.

"We have relative calm in Pakistain at the moment," Asif said. "But if we go against these people [Afghan krazed killers], then the war will again be fought on our soil, which will suit the Americans," he added.

In the meantime, pressures are on the rise on Islamabad to act against the Afghan Taliban, Haqqani network, and other bully boyz having safe havens in Pakistain.

last week criticized Pakistain in strong words for harboring the terrorist groups despite receiving billions in aid to support the counter-terrorism efforts in Afghanistan.
