The Field Marshal followed up his nuclear threat, sources present at the dinner told ThePrint, with comments on the Indus Waters Treaty, saying India's decision to place it in abeyance could put 250 million at risk of starvation. "We will wait for India to build a dam, and when it does so, phir 10 missile sey faarigh kar dengey [we will destroy it with 10 missiles]."

"The Indus river is not the Indians' family property. Humein missilon ki kami nahin hai, al-Hamdulillah [we have no shortage of missiles, Praise be to God]," Munir concluded.

Russia bypassed Pokrovsk's main defenses, pushing north and closing to 2-5 km from Ukraine's Dobropillia, a key supply and fallback hub.

Ukrainian forces concentrated inside Pokrovsk now risk being trapped in a 10-15 km pocket if Russia takes Dobropillia.

🇮🇷🇮🇱| Iran is expecting and preparing for the attack. It played the long game in the first war, pacing its missile attacks as it anticipated a protracted conflict. In the next round, however, Iran is likely to strike decisively from the outset, aiming to dispel any notion that it can be subdued under Israeli military dominance.

▪️As a result, the coming war will likely be far bloodier than the first. If U.S. President Donald Trump caves to Israeli pressure again and joins the fight, the United States could face a full-blown war with Iran that will make Iraq look easy by comparison.
