Pakistan had no plans on deploying nuclear warheads to strike India over the last week of fighting, the country’s foreign minister Ishaq Dar told CNN Monday.

Pakistani officials have said Saturday’s ceasefire with India reestablished deterrence. But New Delhi insists the rules of engagement have irrevocably changed.

While the ceasefire between India and Pakistan is a welcome development, analysts widely view it as tenuous due to deep-rooted mistrust and historical animosities. Further undermining its credibility is India’s post-agreement rhetoric, which framed the truce as an informal “understanding” rather than a binding accord.
