Operation Sindoor: 'We Had No Time to React...' Sp Assistant to Pakistan PM Openly Admits to Beg Donald Trump For Ceasefire, What More?

In a startling revelation that confirms Pakistan’s military failure during Operation Sindoor, Rana Sanaullah, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, has openly admitted that the country was forced to plead with former U.S. President Donald Trump for a ceasefire after Indian BrahMos (Harmus variant) missiles struck key targets, including the Noor Khan Airbase.

“We had no time to react,” said Sanaullah, acknowledging the crippling impact of India’s precision strike and the swiftness of the operation.

Operation Sindoor: Tactical Masterstroke by India

According to reports, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in a swift, pre-emptive move targeting multiple strategic Pakistani military installations. One of the most devastating strikes was on Noor Khan Airbase, crippling Pakistan’s early response mechanism. The use of advanced BrahMos (Harmus) missiles reportedly left Pakistani radar and communication systems paralyzed for crucial hours.

The overwhelming precision and speed of the attack allegedly left the Pakistani military high command in panic, with little to no room for mobilization or retaliation.

Turning to Trump: A Diplomatic SOS

Facing internal chaos and mounting pressure, Pakistan is said to have reached out urgently to Donald Trump, requesting his intervention to broker an immediate ceasefire. The move is being seen as an unprecedented diplomatic SOS, one that reflects the extent of Pakistan’s helplessness during the operation.

This request came even as General Asim Munir and other top officials remained silent on the battlefield, reportedly scrambling to assess damage and coordinate a response that never came.

Admission of Defeat?

Sanaullah’s statement is being viewed as a rare public acknowledgment of military defeat, and a damaging blow to the image of the Pakistan Army, often portrayed as a dominant regional force in state propaganda.

India Maintains Silence, Strategic Advantage

The Indian government has not issued any formal statement on the operation, sticking to its long-standing policy of strategic ambiguity. However, international observers believe Operation Sindoor marks a turning point in South Asian military dynamics, with India demonstrating both tactical superiority and global restraint.

What Next for Pakistan?

The revelation has triggered domestic criticism in Pakistan, with many questioning the preparedness of the armed forces and the credibility of Chinese-supplied military assets, which reportedly failed during the confrontation.

As pressure mounts within Pakistan, the global diplomatic community watches closely to see whether Islamabad turns further west—toward the United States—for defense realignment, or if it risks further isolation by continuing to provoke regional instability.
