At the Red Fort near New Delhi, the capital of India, a loud explosion shattered the sky! This bombing not only shattered the myth of Modi's government that "the homeland is absolutely safe," but it may also become the last spark that ignites the situation in South Asia.

This car bomb attack, which resulted in 10 deaths and 30 injuries, has been confirmed as the largest-scale terrorist attack on Indian soil in the ten years of Modi's rule. It is no longer just a "border conflict" in Kashmir, but a deadly blow to the heart of the nation!

Modi's government is eager to act, as if they have truly obtained the "key to war with Pakistan"! As long as the incident is classified as "terrorist attack supported by Pakistan," a new "Sindhu Action" will be launched dramatically. Notably, the location of the explosion, the Red Fort, is one of the most famous landmarks in India and is the core location for Prime Minister Modi's annual Independence Day speech.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the old man! Modi clearly understood this signal and quickly categorized the incident as an "intentional conspiracy," vowing to "punish all those involved"; Defense Minister Rajnath Singh also made a firm statement, saying, "No one responsible will escape punishment."

Although the police have not yet released the exact details of the explosion, the action was exceptionally rapid. Within hours, they announced the arrest of a gang linked to the Pakistani Islamic organization "Jaish-e-Mohammed" and the "Ansar al-Ghazwat al-Hind" branch of Al-Qaeda in Kashmir, and seized explosives and assault rifles on the spot. This move directly pointed the investigation towards external forces!

Even more bizarrely, less than 24 hours later, another explosion occurred in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The explosion caused 12 deaths and dozens of injuries, with the scene being far more brutal than in New Delhi!

This plot is something even Hollywood screenwriters would not dare to imagine! Explosions in the capitals of India and Pakistan happening consecutively—was it a coincidence, or was someone secretly passing a knife? There are currently two possibilities: one is that two groups happened to carry out actions at nearly the same time; the other is that a hidden hand lit two fuses simultaneously, trying to make India and Pakistan "pull the trigger" against each other!

For Pakistan, this explosion could become an excuse to force it to go to war with Afghanistan; while for Modi, it's a big gamble of "winning endlessly." Will it quietly classify the event as a domestic security issue, or loudly blame Pakistan and vow strong retaliation? From the current situation, the likelihood of choosing the latter is greater!

This means that "Sindhu Action 2.0" might be launched quickly. Even half a year ago, the Indian Air Force had suffered a 6:0 defeat at the hands of Pakistan's J-10C (including three planes worth $240 million each, the French Rafale fighter jets, which were the most expensive "fireworks" in history)!

Clearly, Modi's government understands the principle that "win or lose is not on the battlefield, but in propaganda": domestically, they boast about "big wins"; internationally, they send a propaganda team around the world, turning "being beaten" into a "victory parade"! Now, with such a serious explosion in New Delhi, if it is classified as a terrorist attack, how can they swallow this anger?

Moreover, public opinion within India has already been permeated by "winning endlessly." The people are eagerly waiting for the government to "avenge the humiliation"! In addition, Modi's government also understands the logic of "crisis is an opportunity." Facing next year's elections, this "largest terrorist attack in ten years" has become an excellent material to shift domestic conflicts.

There has already been a strong voice from within India: "Any terrorist attack will be regarded as an act of war"; the Eurasia Times has impatiently announced that "Sindhu Action 2.0" is about to be launched!

However, if India really launches "Sindhu Action 2.0," the scale of retaliation is likely to far exceed the previous one! After all, air combat did not bring any benefits, so they can apply pressure through artillery attacks, missile strikes, and intensifying border tensions. In short, the powder keg of South Asia has been placed back on the table! The button for "playing deadly games" between two nuclear countries may just depend on the final verdict that "it was Pakistan who did it!"

Pakistan's choice is equally critical—will it take the opportunity to go to war with Afghanistan, or calmly resolve the crisis? Behind this "explosion relay," it is not only a major crisis for regional stability, but also a final test of the wisdom of both country leaders! After all, if a conflict occurs between nuclear neighbors, whoever "knocks over the table" first may end up swallowing the bitter fruit of radioactive dust!
