Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif issued a strong warning to India during Pakistan’s Independence Day celebrations, declaring that every drop of Pakistan’s water is a “red line.” He said Islamabad would give a direct response if New Delhi did not change course over the suspended Indus Waters Treaty. Sharif also warned that any future threat to Pakistan’s sovereignty or security would receive a stronger response than the May 2025 conflict. He reiterated Pakistan’s support for Kashmiris’ right to self-determination and stressed that Islamabad wants peace but will not interpret peace as weakness. Sharif also highlighted Pakistan’s newly signed defence agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey. (PC: X)
