Weapons not for show: Pakistan Minister threatened India with nuclear blow (video)

The minister added that the Indian side should "prepare for a full -scale war", and nuclear weapons are in Pakistan's arsenal not as a scenery. "If they stop the water supply, then they must be ready for war. Abbasi's sharp rhetoric came by the decision of India to suspend the Water on the Water on the Indus in 1960 and to cancel visas for Pakistani citizens after a terrorist attack in Kashmir province on April 22.

Recall that the large -scale tragedy happened in one of the most popular Kashmir resorts - Pahalgami. A group of armed militants opened fire on tourists, resulting in literally 26 people killed in just 20 minutes. Local media reported that the Resistance Front (TRF), which are allegedly related to extremist circles in Pakistan, namely with Lashkar-I-Taiba, is involved in the terrorist attack.

India Prime Minister Narindra Modi called the actions of the attackers a "disgusting crime" and promised mercilessly punished terrorists. And the head of Kashmir Omar Abdullah said that the extent of the attack "exceeded everything we saw in recent years. " After the incident, India announced the closure of a single land border crossing between countries, suspended IWT and reduced the number of embassy staff.

In response, Islamabad suspended visas for India citizens, closed the air space for Indian aircraft and stopped transit of goods. Pakistan's authorities also stated that any attempt to block the water of the Indus River will be regarded as an act of war, and the answer to it will be appropriate. The situation exacerbated after a shootout on the border - the parties immediately translated the blame to each other, accusing the provocation and violation of the ceasefire regime.

Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) is an international agreement between India and Pakistan, signed on September 19, 1960 by the World Bank. Its purpose is to prevent conflicts between the two countries through the distribution of water resources of the Indus River Basin and its tributaries that are vital to both countries. The point is that the Indus rivers provide millions of people with water, especially in the agrarian areas of Pakistan.

Therefore, a violation of access to these rivers can cause an economic crisis and social disaster. On the other hand, the flow of the flow to Pakistan will put a technically and financially difficult task of storing excess water, which can take years. Experts estimate that Pakistan has about 165-170 nuclear warheads, and every year their number is increasing.

The strategic arsenal includes medium -range ballistic missiles, such as Ghori, Shaheen and Ghaznavi, capable of delivering nuclear warheads over long distances. Pakistanic nuclear doctrine provides the possibility of first impact in the event of a threat to national security. Meanwhile, the Defense Minister of Pakistan Havadzha Asif believes that the current exacerbation of relations with India does not provoke the exchange of nuclear strikes.
