Delighted to join @UNIDIR's discussion on military AI governance.
My key takeaway: We spent decades building mechanisms to prevent accidental nuclear war. The next challenge may be preventing accidental algorithmic escalation.

Some imp observations on misperceptions surrounding Pakistan’s #nuclear posture, deterrence dynamics, & the notion of limited war deserve serious attn. Insights from former DG ACDA answer critical questions for strategic discourse -regional stability. @zahirhkazmi @WarOnTheRocks

The WOTR essay on “Pakistan’s new logic of limited war” gets the danger right but the causality wrong.
Pakistan is not making limited war more usable. Pakistan is responding to India’s attempt to normalize coercive strikes under the nuclear shadow 1/n

Faster decisions are not automatically safer.
But fragmented decisions are often worse.
The question is not speed alone; it is synchronization, authorization, proportionality, and control.
Pakistan’s crisis behavior should be assessed on those criteria. 16/n

Better formulation:
Pakistan is not widening space for limited war.
Pakistan is closing space for coercive limited war by ensuring that aggression is no longer cheap, unilateral, or politically controllable 10/n

I write for @SAVoices that the gradual lowering of the threshold for targeting #nuclear infrastructure in Iran poses serious risks for South Asia in similar context.

NESST welcomes the ceasefire announcement and appreciates Pakistan’s role in facilitating dialogue.
The Islamabad Talks offer a timely opportunity to move from escalation to engagement. @realDonaldTrump

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!
