Pak : Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, reportedly issued nuclear threats against India while speaking in the United States, warning that Islamabad would “take half the world down” if faced with an existential threat from New Delhi.
At a black-tie dinner in Tampa hosted by businessman and honorary consul Adnan Asad, Munir told attendees, “We are a nuclear nation. If we think we are going down, we’ll take half the world down with us.” The remarks mark the first known instance of a nuclear threat being issued from US territory against a third country.
Munir, on his second US visit in two months since the four-day conflict with India, took aim at India over control of the Indus River. “We will wait for India to build a dam, and when it does so, we will destroy it with ten missiles,” he said, adding,
“The Indus river is not the Indians’ family property… We have no shortage of missiles, Alhumdulillah,” Munir said, as quoted by ThePrint, citing sources.
