Asif made the remarks in an interview, where the anchor asked him about the recent statements by the Indian political and military leaders. The minister said there was a threat of armed confrontation and Pakistan was keeping its guard and watching the situation. "Chances of war with India are real," Asif said. He said Pakistan would likely achieve more favourable results in the event of a war with India.

"I do not want escalation, but the risks are real, and I am not denying that. If it comes to war, God willing, we will achieve a better result than before," Asif said.

He said Pakistan had more supporters and allies than it had six months ago, while claiming that India had even lost the support of the countries that were on its side before the May conflict.
