• The Nuclear doctrine of State of Pakistan (otherwise referred as Option-
enhancing Policy or simply: Nuclear doctrine;), is a theoretical concept of
military strategy that promotes the deterrence by guaranteeing an
immediate "massive retaliation" to an aggressive attacks against the state.
This doctrine obtained various mathematical models of the "Game
theory" for its effective operational use; it consists of numbers of set of
strict principles (roughly based on Game theory, Nash equilibrium and
parts of the Decision theory), rules, regulations, and comprehensive
instructions for the operational employment or non-operational
employment of atomic weapons and other strategic systems associated
with those weapons.

• Pakistan has a no first attack policy in place since 1971. This policy was
reiterated after the nuclear tests in 1998. Pakistan has vowed never to
invade or attack another country under any circumstances. Pakistan's
foreign minister Shamshad Ahmad had warned that if Pakistan is ever
invaded or attack, it will use "any weapon in its arsenal" to defend itself.
