Replying to another question regarding engagement and diplomacy with Afghanistan as it was done in the US-Iran conflict, he said Pakistan followed the route of diplomacy with Afghanistan from 2021 to 2025.  However, the security situation crossed the certain thresholds of Pakistan's patience in the end of 2025.
