Srinagar : Pakistan and India had a nuclear agreement in 1988 in which both countries agreed not to attack each other's nuclear installations. In 1991, the agreement was amended and both countries also revealed the locations of their nuclear installations to each other.
Since then, the two countries have been regularly exchanging information on their nuclear locations. India's nuclear doctrine is clearly based on not taking the first step, but if it is attacked with chemical or biological weapons, then it can use nuclear weapons.
After India's termination of the Indus Waters Treaty, Pakistan has warned that after this, the remaining bilateral agreements, including the agreement not to attack nuclear installations, have no validity.

On the other hand, Pakistan has not formulated any policy regarding the use of nuclear weapons, which leaves it with the option of using nuclear weapons even if India comes within its borders and harms its troops or its economy.
Observers say that Pakistan also has nuclear weapons with limited damage. That is, if Indian forces enter its borders in thousands, it has weapons that can wipe out the opposing forces in a matter of moments.
This is the dangerous scenario due to which there are possibilities of nuclear war between the two countries. In 2022, India accidentally fired a Brahmos missile towards Pakistan. Any such coincidence can set off nuclear missiles.
Who has the key to peace?
If we keep in mind the conflict of the recent past of 2019, one thing becomes clear that after the Pakistan Air Force shot down an Indian plane in retaliation the day after the Balakot attack, the two countries had reached the brink of war and the drums of war were about to sound at any time, however, at that time this war was averted due to pressure from the United States and Western countries.
Even then, Donald Trump was the president in America and he is the same president today. But this time he has made a statement that is very vague, that is, that both countries will find a way out on their own.
After the horrific attacks of Israel on Gaza and the Russian attacks on Ukraine, the peacekeeping forces are already suffering from distrust, due to which the world is not so interested in the recent tension between the two countries.
There is also an idea that India wants to repeat the dangerous behavior that Israel has shown in Gaza as an example in Kashmir. It has even started demolishing the houses of Kashmiris using the Pahalgam attack as an excuse, and thousands of Kashmiris have been arrested.
Even if there is no full-scale war between the two countries, very bad days have begun for the Kashmiris because India believes that the world will become a spectator in Kashmir just as it was in Gaza.
But this will be a difficult situation for Pakistan, can it leave the Kashmiris alone?
Whenever Pakistan jumps into this war, the risk of nuclear war will increase. It seems that the key to regional peace has fallen in Dal Lake, which both countries and the world have failed to find.
On the other hand, Pakistan has not formulated any policy regarding the use of nuclear weapons, due to which it has an open option, even if India comes within its borders and harms its troops or its economy, it can still use nuclear weapons.
