The conflict between India and Pakistan escalates with India's recent airstrikes and threats regarding water flow from the Indus basin. Prime Minister Modi implied that India would cease water distribution to Pakistan, asserting it would benefit India's own progress. This marks a significant shift, as the longtime Indus Waters Treaty regulating water-sharing is now being challenged, following India accusing Pakistan of supporting terrorism. Pakistan regards any disruption of its water supply from Indiaâbeing upstreamâas a declaration of war, increasing the possibility of a severe confrontation between the nuclear powers.
"As Pakistan reels from the most extensive airstrikes on its territory from India during official peacetime, observers worry about further escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors."
"India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India would stop water from flowing out across its borders, emphasizing that this water will be conserved for India's benefit."
