Pakistan cancelled a potential military action against Afghanistan at Qatar's request last month, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Saturday (November 29, 2025).
Mr. Dar was addressing a press conference where he talked at length about Pakistan’s concerns and expectations from Kabul.

“The Qatari Foreign Ministry came to know that we were moving towards taking action (against Afghanistan). Then Qatar requested for a solution to the problem and mediation, after which the operation that was going to be carried out that night was stopped,” Mr. Dar said, referring to tensions with Kabul last month.
He said that nothing could come out of a mediation, and Qatar was not happy that its mediation effort remained fruitless.
