India has decisively won the latest military conflict against Pakistan. If anybody had a doubt, the Indian Air Force (IAF) presser on Sunday conclusively demonstrated it with clear images and videos of the precision strikes in Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) and deep inside Pakistan.

From Muridke to Bahawalpur and from Sargodha to Jacobabad, every missile strike has been captured, as if in 4K.

It is now clear that the bombing of Sargodha and a couple of other airfields could be the immediate reason for Pakistan’s panicked outreach to the US, which, in turn, advised it to directly request India for a ceasefire, which Pakistan did.

Apparently, the Indian missiles landed alarmingly close to its nuclear facilities and could even have triggered radiation.

But despite this unprecedented aggressive response to a terror attack (the Pahalgam massacre, in this case), cheer was missing from the Indian side. It was as if we had lost. Pakistan, forever blissfully in denial, actually started claiming victory. The Western media obliged, with almost congratulatory pieces and shows about Pakistan snatching a ceasefire.

There were three main narrative setbacks for India.

First, some seriously irresponsible and childish mainstream media reporting. It is fine to run........
