Pakistan threatens military action against Afghanistan, after the failure of peace negotiations in Istanbul.

The Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was photographed during a meeting with military leaders, while Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stated that the Taliban regime in Kabul will be "defeated," following the failure of peace negotiations in Istanbul. These discussions, which aimed to avoid further clashes between Taliban and Pakistani forces, ended without a viable solution, provoking the anger of the authorities in Pakistan.

Recent clashes along the border have led to significant loss of life, and Pakistan accuses the Taliban of not controlling the militant groups that attack its forces. Although a ceasefire was agreed upon, tensions persist, and Pakistani officials warn that the failure of negotiations could lead to an "open war."
