Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir issued a provocative nuclear threat against India during a black-tie dinner in Tampa, Florida, declaring, “If we think we are going down, we’ll take half the world down with us.” The statement marks the first known instance of a nuclear threat made from U.S. territory against a third country. Munir also warned of missile strikes on any future Indian dam over the Indus River, asserting Pakistan’s missile readiness. His remarks come amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions and follow recent meetings with U.S. officials and President Donald Trump. Pakistan’s military has denied speculation about Munir’s political ambitions, while critics warn of escalating rhetoric and regional instability. (PC: Aaj Tak & Hindustan Times)
