“Deterrence failed in this intermediate domain—the limited, precision-strike space—which both sides sought to exploit without triggering broader escalation. The ARFC is designed to address this gap by strengthening conventional missile response options and, by extension, conventional deterrence.”

I went on @aljazeera.com yesterday to discuss the current situation in Pakistan. Unfortunately, it’s going to get worse before it gets better, especially since the ceasefire between Pakistan and Afghanistan has failed. Watch it here: mediaview.aljazeera.com/video/hlteAG...

🚨 JUST IN: A newly declassified cable reinforces proliferation concerns about high-assay low-enriched uranium fuel, and reveals an urgent need for an international review of #HALEU use, writes Ed Lyman (@nucsafetyucs.bsky.social).

Given all the nuclear developments in the recent news it is worth rereading the piece our team wrote in The Washington Post this summer. Before the Post opinion section changed.

President Trump's recent announcement could open a Pandora's box of nuclear testing, say @khansahar1.bsky.social and @haleemasaadia.bsky.social but it presents India and Pakistan a rare moment of normative leadership to jointly reaffirm their nuclear moratoriums.

🚨 Where is nuclear competition in South Asia and the Indo-Pacific today? What impact does US-China competition have on nuclear proliferation in Southern Asia?

I answer these questions in my new Texas National Security Review piece: tnsr.org/wp-content/u...

When Trump posted about nuclear testing, I jumped on a call with @haleemasaadia.bsky.social to discuss what it would mean for South Asia if the US broke the moratorium on testing. The conversation led to this: www.apln.network/analysis/com...

Thank you @apln.network!

New @apln.network commentary on implications of the nuclear testing debate for 🇮🇳 and 🇵🇰, by @khansahar1.bsky.social & @haleemasaadia.bsky.social -

Went on DW's "Global Eyes" podcast (hosted by
@WasHasNaz & Shani Rozanes) with @donthi_praveen
to discuss the latest 🇮🇳-🇵🇰 crisis, and the implications of a "new normal" on the region and beyond. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyFx...

Behind the headlines about India and Pakistan, old assumptions are heightening new risks — and limiting the path to peace.
