Newly declassified documents under the United States' Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) have revealed Pakistan's deep-seated anxiety and extensive diplomatic efforts following India's 'Operation Sindoor' in May 2025. This operation involved precision strikes by the Indian armed forces against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 6-7, 2025, in retaliation for the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists. The FARA documents expose that Pakistani diplomats and defense officials made more than 50 urgent pleas to various US officials, lawmakers, and media intermediaries in Washington. These efforts were aimed at seeking US intervention to halt India's military actions and prevent the conflict from escalating, underscoring Islamabad's fear that India's military offensive was merely 'paused' and could resume at any time. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assertion that 'Operation Sindoor was merely suspended' or 'only paused' reportedly fueled Pakistan's apprehension, a concern explicitly noted in the lobbying firm's filings on behalf of Pakistan. The revelations also contradict Pakistan's long-standing narrative that India had sought a ceasefire. Instead, the documents and related reports confirm that the request for a truce originated from Pakistani commanders, who were facing significant damage from India's strikes. Furthermore, the claims by former US President Donald Trump about mediating a ceasefire between the two nations have been debunked by these filings, which show no mention of India seeking US mediation. Pakistan reportedly spent a substantial sum, estimated between ₹45 to ₹50 crore, on American lobbying firms to push its agenda in Washington. India, on the other hand, consistently maintained that 'Operation Sindoor' was a targeted response against terrorism and that any issues with Pakistan are bilateral, precluding the need for third-party intervention. Subsequent US intelligence reports, such as the '2025 Worldwide Threat Assessment', further contextualize India-Pakistan relations by indicating that India primarily views China as its main adversary, considering Pakistan an 'ancillary security problem'. However, Pakistan continues to modernize its nuclear arsenal, perceiving India as an 'existential threat' to offset India's conventional military advantage.
