Regional tensions have intensified following recent attacks on Iran and the martyrdom of the country’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Security analysts viewed that amid the evolving situation, concerns are growing over what they describe as a coordinated hybrid campaign aimed at destabilising Pakistan.
According to these assessments, initial pressure was exerted through border tensions and the involvement of the Taliban, while more recent efforts are said to focus on cyberattacks and social media propaganda designed to create internal disruption.
Experts characterise the developments as part of a broader hybrid strategy that combines traditional security pressure with digital and psychological operations.
It is being claimed that Israel and India are taking advantage of the regional situation to pursue a strategy of inflaming internal emotions in Pakistan, particularly public anger and resentment over Khamenei’s death, to create distrust toward state institutions and increase unrest in the streets.
Experts describe this not as a conventional war, but as a full-scale hybrid war where border pressure, proxy actors, cyberattacks and psychological operations are all part of a coordinated strategy.
At such a critical time, the nation must prioritise awareness, verified information and national unity over emotional reactions. The enemy’s success lies in our division, and its failure in our unity.
