Pakistan Warns India Over Indus Waters Treaty Amid Ongoing Bilateral Tensions
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has issued strong warnings to India over the Indus Waters Treaty, declaring every drop of Pakistan's water a "red line" and threatening a direct response to any perceived threats. Sharif linked water rights to broader tensions including Kashmir and praised US President Donald Trump for his role in brokering the May 2025 ceasefire. India maintains the treaty is bilateral and has suspended it citing security concerns after terror attacks attributed to Pakistan-backed groups. The dispute remains a key point of contention amid ongoing political and security challenges.
