- India has suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty for the first time, which guarantees water for 80% of Pakistan's agriculture, following a terrorist attack in Kashmir.
- In the coming months, India may begin diverting water, severely impacting Pakistan's agriculture and economy.
- Experts caution that Pakistan has underestimated the threat posed by India's actions and must address inefficiencies in its water management.
- The treaty's suspension could escalate long-term conflicts between the two nations, according to Pakistani politicians.
We're already locked into generations of conflict, and by exiting the Indus Water Treaty, I believe we're locking future generations into a brand new context of conflict.— Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Pakistan's former foreign minister, commented on the dangerous precedent set by the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty.
