In a provocative statement on social media, veteran Pakistani diplomat and analyst Zafar Hilaly claimed that India has agreed to a 12-day ceasefire not for peace, but as a tactical pause to regroup, restock, and reassess targets.
According to Hilaly, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is expected to resume offensive operations targeting rear Pakistan Air Force (PAF) bases once the temporary truce concludes.
Hilaly further asserted that his claims are backed by confirmations from sources within the U.S. State Department, Department of Defense, and the Pentagon — though no official statements from these U.S. agencies have yet been released publicly.
As I had surmised:
India agreed to a 12 day cease fire only to re group, restock and re assess targets. When this pause is over IAF will resume with attacks on rear PAF air bases.

The tweet, posted at 3:36 AM on May 12, 2025, has since drawn significant attention online, garnering over 30,000 views within hours. The alleged ceasefire agreement and its purported strategic intentions raise serious questions about the current state of India-Pakistan military dynamics and regional stability.
Neither Indian nor Pakistani military spokespeople have officially commented on the nature or intent of the ceasefire as of this report.
