Snap Insight: India and Pakistan are on the brink, but war is not inevitable
- On May 7, 2025, India launched missile attacks targeting nine locations across Pakistan and the region of Kashmir administered by Pakistan, as a reaction to a terrorist incident that occurred in Pahalgam two weeks prior.
- The strikes targeted what India identified as terrorist infrastructure linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed at Balakot in north-western Pakistan, accusing Pakistan of enabling terrorism.
- Tensions intensified as Pakistan conducted missile launches between May 3 and 5, closed its borders and airspace with India, condemned India's strikes as an act of war, and vowed a strong retaliation.
- A 2024 report from the nuclear think tank Basic recommended establishing a leader-to-leader hotline to enable empathetic, real-time communication important for clarifying intentions and reducing escalation risks.
- India and Pakistan, both nuclear powers, face a narrow margin for error, and mutual restraint alongside enhanced communication mechanisms could help avoid miscalculation and uncontrolled conflict.
