Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has warned that Pakistan could go to war if it believes India's actions threaten its water supply from the Indus river system. Speaking to local media, Asif said water security is a matter of national security for Pakistan. His remarks come amid rising tensions after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty following the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack. Pakistan has opposed the move and raised the issue at international forums. The treaty is important for Pakistan's agriculture and economy. The dispute has become a major point of tension between the two neighbouring countries.
