Escalating Tensions, Fresh Clashes on the Afghanistan-Pakistan Border
Update: 2025-10-16
Description
After air strikes and fighting on the border, a ceasefire has been declared. But how long can it hold?
In this episode of The Diplomat’s Asia Geopolitics podcast hosts Ankit Panda (@nktpnd) and Katie Putz (@LadyPutz) discuss the recent, and major, escalation of tensions on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. In light of recent Pakistani airstrikes on Afghanistan, including in Kabul, we explore the complex historical relationship between the Afghan Taliban, the Pakistani state, and the TTP; the challenges of border control along the Durand Line; as well as the geopolitical implications of India's evolving relationship with the Taliban and Pakistan’s improving relations with the United States.
