Abstract

The relationship between the United States and Pakistan has been a complex and dynamic one, especially in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The two nations have had a long history of political, economic, and military ties, but the events of 9/11 brought a new dimension to their relationship. This article analyzes the impact of US-Pakistan relations on regional stability in the post-9/11 era. The 9/11 attacks not only changed the dynamics of the US-Pakistan relationship, but it also had a significant impact on regional stability. In the aftermath of the attacks, the US launched a global war on terror, and Pakistan became a crucial ally in this fight. The US provided Pakistan with financial aid and military support, while Pakistan allowed the US to use its territory for military operations in Afghanistan. This collaboration between the two nations had a direct impact on the stability of the region, particularly in Afghanistan and the surrounding areas. While the US-Pakistan alliance was instrumental in the initial success of the war on terror, it also brought about several challenges and consequences that continue to affect regional stability to this day.
