India Suspends Indus Waters Treaty Citing Security Concerns Amid Pakistan Tensions
India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty in April 2025 after the Pahalgam terror attack, citing Pakistan's ongoing support for cross-border terrorism and obstruction under the treaty. India views this move as a strategic response to Pakistan's use of militancy shielded by nuclear deterrence, aiming to apply 'hydro-punishment' through water diplomacy. Pakistan has expressed strong opposition, including military warnings of potential conflict if its water security is threatened. The situation reflects broader tensions between the two countries over security and resource management.
