The purpose of the study is to assess the counter-terrorism strategy applied by the United States on Pakistan and the response shown by the Islamic state Moreover, the research focuses on content analysis and explains the relations between the United States and Pakistan but also analyses the fact as to what would be the effect of the policy on bilateral relations between both states. Here, the focus of the research is on how to achieve a better understanding of Pakistan's counter-terrorism strategy and enhance the effectiveness of the Pak-U.S. alliance in the fight against terrorism.
