US Supports Pakistan’s Right to Defend Itself as Operation Ghazab lil-Haq Delivers Heavy Blow to Afghan Taliban with reports confirming over 300 Taliban Deaths
The US supports Pakistan’s right to defend itself, reaffirming its position on February 27, 2026, as tensions surge along the border. According to Reuters, a U.S. State Department spokesperson publicly defended Pakistan’s actions, reinforcing Islamabad’s legitimacy in carrying out Operation Ghazab lil-Haq.
The timing is critical. With competing war narratives circulating globally, Washington’s backing strengthens Pakistan’s stance and undercuts attempts to portray its operations as unwarranted escalation. The United States continues to classify the Taliban as a terrorist organization and does not recognize their government — a position that aligns squarely with Pakistan’s security concerns.
Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reports that Information Minister Attaullah Tarar claims over 330 Taliban fighters have been killed and more than 500 injured in what is being described as Pakistan’s most decisive modern military campaign.
With firm international backing and mounting battlefield gains, Pakistan appears resolute in pressing forward.
