Pakistan officially admits it was targeted and hit during Operation Sindoor.

Pakistan confesses to reaching out to the US and Saudi Arabia, begging India to stop further military action.

Saudi Arabia’s involvement reveals additional diplomatic pressure on India beyond the previously known US mediation

This marks a major blow to Pakistan’s long-standing denials of damage and defeat following India’s precision strikes from Balakot to Sindoor. The admission exposes a deep national security embarrassment for Pakistan while serving as a strategic validation of India’s military and diplomatic strength.

Pakistan’s unraveling narrative showcases how truth and facts continue to dismantle attempts to conceal military realities. This latest admission underscores India’s dominance in the operation and the efficacy of its international diplomatic efforts. 

The revelation has sparked political tremors within Pakistan, with opposition leaders and defense analysts questioning the government's earlier denials and the military's preparedness. Many view Ishaq Dar’s statement as a rare moment of transparency that inadvertently exposes the extent of Pakistan’s vulnerability during Operation Sindoor. Meanwhile, in India, the statement is being seen as a diplomatic and strategic victory, bolstering New Delhi’s narrative of restraint backed by credible deterrence. Experts believe this could significantly shift regional perceptions of power and deterrence dynamics in South Asia.
