Goa, July 3 -- During the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, senior Pakistani politician and advisor to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Rana Sanaullah, publicly acknowledged the grave nuclear risks posed when India launched a BrahMos cruise missile at the Nur Khan airbase near Rawalpindi as part of Operation Sindoor.

According to Sanaullah, Pakistan's military had just 30 to 45 seconds to assess whether the incoming missile carried a nuclear payload-a perilously short window in which any misjudgment could have triggered a catastrophic nuclear exchange. He described the situation as "dangerous," highlighting the immense pressure and uncertainty both sides faced in a rapidly escalating environment.
