On May 2, 2025, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif warned that Pakistan would target any water infrastructure India builds in violation of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). This statement comes in response to India’s recent suspension of the treaty following a deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which New Delhi blamed on Pakistan-based groups. Asif labeled India's suspension of the treaty an "act of war" and a breach of international agreements. The escalation raises serious concerns about regional stability, as diplomatic and military tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations continue to intensify. (PC: Reuters)
