In July 2025, an explosive audio recording of Masood Azhar played in a mosque in Pakistan was exclusively accessed by CNN-News18. In the recording, which was reportedly played on a loudspeaker at a Jaish mosque in Bahawalpur, He was quoted as saying, "You have missiles, we have fidayeens," asserting that no force or missile can arrest them. He went on to make a massive claim, stating that "Jaish has 10,000 fidayeens ready for jihad" and that the organization possesses a cadre of 30,000.
Some of the key points from Maulana Masood Azhar's latest bayan include:
In another bayan, Azhar discussed the threat of terrorism, which has been a pressing concern for Pakistan and the global community. While acknowledging the severity of the issue, Azhar argued that the root causes of terrorism, including foreign intervention and socio-economic disparities, must be addressed. He emphasized the need for a comprehensive strategy to combat terrorism, which includes both military and diplomatic efforts. latest bayans of maulana masood azhar bayan full
Azhar frames the brigade as a response to what he calls the “enemy’s use of women in the military and media”. He vows to “organize our women to fight and confront them” and promises that any woman who joins will “go straight to heaven from her grave after death”. According to intelligence reports, the recruitment drive will specifically target wives of terrorist commanders, economically vulnerable women, and relatives of slain militants.

In late 2024 and early 2026, several significant communications attributed to Azhar emerged:
The broadcast of this audio in a public mosque was viewed by security analysts as a deliberate and alarming provocation. Top intelligence sources revealed that Azhar was being "revived" as a strategic asset by Pakistani agencies following the setback of Operation Sindoor to reorganize sleeper cells and assert dominance through symbolic threats.

Because Masood Azhar was officially blacklisted by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) under the Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee, strict international rules apply to his likeness and voice. Platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and various file-hosting services actively deploy automated moderation tools to remove full-length media associated with him. Under these counter-terrorism compliance mandates, hosting, distributing, or translating his full speeches violates international law and platform terms of service.

Defence experts largely dismissed this as a "hollow threat" and a sign of severe frustration following India's Operation Sindoor, which decimated JeM's infrastructure and eliminated several of Azhar's close relatives and top aides. The clip was uploaded by pro-ISI accounts on X and Telegram, and Indian authorities believe it is a desperate attempt to boost the morale of a demoralized cadre.
