New Delhi: Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, who is on a visit to the United States, threatened to target India's economic infrastructure if there is any
conflict in the future. Munir, named Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd refinery at Jamnagar, Gujarat — the world’s largest single-site refining complex - in his address at a private dinner in Tampa, Florida. Referring to an earlier online post, he noted: “Ek tweet karwaya tha with Surah Fil and a picture of (the industrialist) Mukesh Ambani to show them what we will do the next time.” He then spelled out a war plan: “We’ll start from India’s East, where they have located their most valuable resources, and then move westwards.” For the first time, Pakistan’s top military leadership has identified a key economic asset as a potential military target. Army Chief Asim Munir, widely regarded as the most powerful man in the country, reportedly referred to a social media post featuring a Quranic verse alongside Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani’s photo. Munir said he had personally authorised the message during recent hostilities “to show them what we will do the next time,” according to media reports based on accounts from attendees at a closed-door event.
Pakistan Army Chief's Nuclear Threat From US Soil
Speaking at the private dinner, Army Chief Asim Munir also resorted to issuing a nuclear threat."We are a nuclear nation. If we think we are going down, we’ll take half the world down with us," he warned.The remarks came during a function hosted by businessman Adnan Asad, Tampa’s honorary consul, where around 120 guests of Pakistani origin were present. Security at the gathering was tight—cellphones and other digital devices were banned. A representative from the Israel Defence Forces was also said to be in attendance.
Indus Treaty Warning
Munir also lashed out at India over the Indus Waters Treaty, accusing New Delhi of endangering food supplies for 250 million people after putting the pact "in abeyance" following April’s Pahalgam terror attack. "We will wait for India to build a dam, and when it does so, phir das 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),” he said.
This was Munir’s second trip to the US in as many months—his last visit included a White House lunch with President Trump on June 18, during which he proposed Trump’s name for the Nobel Peace Prize, an idea he repeated in Tampa.
