Pakistan is in a tight spot . US Director of National Intelligence Daniel R. Coats said "Islamabad's failure to curb support to anti-India militants and New Delhi's growing intolerance of this policy, coupled with a perceived lack of progress in Pakistan's investigations into the January 2016 Pathankote cross-border attack, set the stage for a deterioration of bilateral relations in 2016."

Pakistan Army is tightening noose around Shariff's neck. Constitutionally, the military has no political and strategic role in Pakistan. But every coup-maker keeps himself well equipped to abrogate the constitution and declare a provisional constitutional order.

Nawaz Sharif He added, "Increasing numbers of fire fights along the Line of Control (LoC), including the use of artillery and mortars, might exacerbate the risk of unintended escalation between these nucleararmed neighbours."
Iran has also threatened to strike inside Pakistan if border security not increased. Major- General Mohammad Baqeri of Iran in a statement said "If the terrorist attacks continue, we will hit their safe havens and cells, wherever they are."
Iran's threat was not only to Pakistan but to Saudi Arbia too. Iranian Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan said "If the Saudis do anything ignorant, we will leave no area untouched except Mecca and Medina,"
The world community is also worried about Pakistan which is one of nine countries with nuclear weapons, and a hotbed of global jihadism.
