An analysis has been conducted on the current geostrategic situation of the ‎Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The internal, regional, and international situation of ‎Pakistan, the only nuclear-armed state of Islamic world, has been analyzed. Against the ‎backdrop of territorial disputes between regional states, the main elements threatening ‎Pakistan's national security have been discussed. The impact of the ongoing global ‎power struggles on Pakistan has been analyzed. The interests of major powers within the ‎context of Pakistan have been highlighted. A brief analysis of the challenges and ‎opportunities Pakistan faces due to its geostrategic position has been conducted. From a ‎military perspective, it has been demonstrated how critical the territorial factor is for ‎Pakistan in a potential conventional war with India. A brief analysis of Pakistan's defense ‎strategy and military power has been provided. The key outlines of Pakistan's nuclear ‎doctrine have been shown. Attention has been drawn to the dangerous nature of the ‎‎"Hindutva" ideology of the current Indian government, which is attempting to create ‎hegemony in the region. The analysis also includes India’s rapid economic growth and its ‎increasing military spending, which has placed it among the top in the global arms race.‎
