Pakistan Minister Hanif Abbasi Threatened India With Nuclear Retaliation, 130 Nuclear Warheads Kept

New Delhi: Pakistan Minister Hanif Abbasi openly threatened India with nuclear retaliation, warning that Pakistan’s arsenal – including Ghori, Shaheen, and Ghaznavi missiles along with 130 nuclear warheads – has been kept “only for India”. He said if India dares to halt Pakistan’s water supply by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, it should “prepare for a full-scale war”.

“If they stop the water supply to us, then they should be ready for a war. The military equipment we have, the missiles we have, they’re not for display. Nobody knows where we have placed our nuclear weapons across the country. I say it again, these ballistic missiles, all of them are targeted at you,” he warned.

His reaction came after India announced a series of countermeasures against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 dead. India announced its decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 and also revoked all visas for Pakistani nationals.

Pakistan shutting its airspace to Indian flights, he pointed to the chaos it triggered in Indian aviation in just two days.The minister lashed out at India, accusing it of shifting blame onto Pakistan for the Pahalgam terror attack instead of acknowledging its own security failures.

Abbasi’s remarks came after a series of bold claims made by Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif just days earlier. In an interview, Asif admitted that Pakistan had supported and trained terror groups for the “last three decades”, but shifted the blame to the United States and the West, including Britain.
