Escalating cross-border tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, fueled by Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) attacks originating from Afghan territory, drive the 68% implied probability for Pakistani military action by March 31. Recent artillery exchanges along the Durand Line, including clashes at Torkham and Chaman border posts in late February, prompted Pakistan to close key crossings and issue stern warnings from Army Chief Asim Munir and Defence Minister Khawaja Asif demanding Taliban crackdowns on militants. Official Pakistani operations have already targeted TTP hideouts, with traders pricing in further airstrikes or incursions amid stalled diplomatic talks and rising domestic pressure in Pakistan to respond forcefully, though Taliban denials of involvement add uncertainty to the timeline.
