Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir threatens to bomb dam if India builds it on Indus River
Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir warned that his country could resort to nuclear weapons if India proceeds with dam construction on the Indus River and if it faced an existential threat in a future conflict with India. Read here read more In an unusually blunt warning delivered on US soil, Pakistan's Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir suggested his country would be prepared to unleash missile strikes and even escalate to nuclear conflict if India proceeds with dam construction on the Indus River. Speaking at a black-tie dinner in Tampa hosted by businessman Adnan Asad, Pakistan's honorary consul, Munir said that the river 'is not the Indians' family property' and warned that Islamabad has 'no shortage of missiles", al-Hamdulillah [praise be to God], the Print reported. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He went further, issuing an apocalyptic caution about Pakistan's nuclear posture. 'We are a nuclear nation,' Munir said. 'If we think we are going down, we'll take half the world down with us.' The remarks came for the first time a Pakistani military leader has publicly delivered such a threat against India while abroad and particularly from within the United States, raising concerns about the volatility of South Asia's already tense security environment. While dam construction on the Indus has long been a source of friction between the nuclear-armed rivals, Munir's explicit linkage of water disputes to potential missile and nuclear strikes underscores how resource competition could trigger far broader geopolitical consequences. Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir who is visiting Washington for the second time since the recent four-day conflict with India, the Pakistan Army said on Sunday. In an official statement, the army confirmed that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) is on an official trip to the United States. During his visit, General Munir held high-level meetings with senior US political and military leaders, as well as members of the Pakistani diaspora. Details about the duration of his stay or the exact date of his arrival were not disclosed. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD While in Tampa, Munir attended the retirement ceremony of outgoing US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander General Michael E. Kurilla. He also participated in the Change of Command Ceremony, where Admiral Brad Cooper took over as the new CENTCOM commander. He also met with Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, where matters of mutual professional interest were discussed.

Making sense of Munir's madness
So, who blinked first? It might be too early for an informed analysis on the truce after four days of Indo-Pak conflict as information is rather sketchy. The ceasefire violation within a few hours further complicated matters. But the initiative for a telephonic call for talks on Saturday afternoon came from the Pakistani side. Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations called his Indian counterpart and both arrived on a ceasefire agreement. The seeds for the conflict were sown by Pakistan army chief Asim Munir as he recently called Kashmir India's jugular vein and regurgitated the two-nation theory that led to India's partition. "Our stance is very clear, it was our jugular vein, it will be our jugular vein, and we will not forget it. We will not leave our Kashmiri brothers in their heroic struggle," Gen Munir said while addressing the first Overseas Pakistanis Convention in Islamabad on April 17, attended by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistanis living abroad. Also, Pakistan's footprint in the Pahalgam massacre of Indian tourists were recently revealed in a news media expose. For, a top US-based space tech company found a sudden spike in orders for high-resolution satellite images of Pahalgam and its surrounding areas barely two months ago from a Pakistan-based geo-spatial company, Business Systems International Pvt Ltd (BSI), the Print reported. The Pakistani firm is linked to federal crimes in the US. Between February 2 and 22, BSI placed at least 12 orders—double the usual number— with Maxar Technologies. BSI became Maxer's partner last year. Orders for Pahalgam satellite images started appearing on the portal in June 2024, months after the partnership deal. The deal is now off. There you have a smoking gun, possibly enough for the US turning the screws on Pakistan's hybrid leadership with Gen Munir at the helm. No wonder, US President Donald Trump sought to take credit for drumming some commonsense and forcing Pakistan to step back.

Dunelm shoppers are obsessed with new £39 parasol that's perfect for the heatwave
Dunelm's latest release, a stunning 2.7m Cream Crank Parasol, is causing quite the stir among shoppers just in time for the forecasted heatwave. It's perfect for those lazy, sun-drenched garden days and features a lush cream palette with sleek black accents, all neatly crowned with a user-friendly crank handle to make setting up your slice of shade a breeze. Saying goodbye to complicated setups, customers are loving how"easy to put up and down" the parasol is, not to mention its luxurious look that seems straight out of a "Mediterranean" escape. It's worth noting that additional weights are needed to keep it steady—they are not included, but don't fret, Dunelm conveniently sells a Set of 2 Leanover Quarter Parasol Water Weights for a reasonable £35. With summer on the horizon, this parasol has become a hot commodity online. It boasts over 150 positive reviews and earns an impressive 4.7-star average. One satisfied customer shared their excitement: "As the sun is now starting to appear I decided to invest in a parasol for the coming months. This is exactly what I was after at a great price too. I ordered the cream. Highly recommended.", reports the Mirror. And in their glowing five-star feedback, another purchaser enthused: "I love this! Its large, so easy to put up and down, and fits perfectly in my garden giving me privacy and shade. Excellent value for money in my opinion.", as noted by the Liverpool Echo. One happy customer gushed, "Super parasol, chic and Mediterranean look. Excellent parasol. Easy crank to put up, also with tilt. Really attractive in cream. Looks stylish." Another chimed in with their approval, stating, "Great umbrella, lovely colour, great size looks very Mediterranean." However, not everyone was as pleased, with one shopper giving it a three-star rating and remarking: "It's a good size, but the handle to wind it up doesn't work." If you're looking for alternatives, Dunelm has the Sophie Robinson Block Print 2.45m Parasol on offer for £79, featuring a fringe detail and floral pattern, plus a two-side tilt function for perfect shading.
