Pakistan Threatens Nuclear War with India

Published on 8.11.25

Pakistan has threatened nuclear war with India, sparking criticism from New Delhi after Field Marshal Asim Munir made anti-India remarks during a speech to the Pakistani diaspora in Florida. Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and military leaders have used nuclear sabre-rattling as a tool of diplomacy, with the country's Army Chief stating that if faced with an existential threat from India, it would take half the world down with it. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has condemned the comments, citing Pakistan's links to terrorist groups and questioning its nuclear command and control.
