Pakistan’s ISI crumbles under Taliban, army pressure

Pakistan’s ISI, once a powerful spy agency, is now struggling. It missed key intelligence, leading to attacks on the army, especially from the Afghan Taliban and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is unhappy with the ISI’s failures, particularly after the Taliban attacked military posts and killed 58 soldiers.

The ISI’s past allies, the Taliban and TTP, are now enemies. This shift has caused embarrassment. Infighting and lack of coordination in the agency have made it ineffective. Munir is pushing for changes, allowing the ISI to work independently. He has warned officials to improve their strategy or face consequences.
