Pakistan Faces Severe Water Crisis As Indus Waters Treaty Still In Abeyance | Punjab Hit Hardest

Pakistan is staring at a water disaster as India holds the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 in abeyance. The flow of water from rivers like Chenab and Jhelum has plummeted, with Punjab province the worst affected. Water availability in the Indus system is down by over 10%, raising alarm for the approaching kharif season. Pakistan's key dams—Tarbela and Mangla—are also below optimal levels. The crisis follows India’s suspension of the treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack, and Pakistan has warned that blocking water flow could be considered an "act of war." #PakistanWaterCrisis #IndusWatersTreaty #IndiaPakistan #PunjabDrought #ChenabRiver #IRSA #WaterWar #TarbelaDam #ManglaDam #KharifSeason #IndusRiver #JhelumRiver #WaterShortage #CrossBorderTensions #Geopolitics #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #ClimateCrisis #SouthAsiaCrisis #BreakingNews ~HT.318~GR.122~

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump Declares Economic WAR On BRICS Allies, Warns 10% Tariffs On ‘Anti-U.S Bloc’ [Video]

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump Declares Economic WAR On BRICS Allies, Warns 10% Tariffs On ‘Anti-U.S Bloc’

Trump Vs BRICS: In a move set to rattle global markets, former President Donald Trump has issued a severe warning to the BRICS nations and their allies. He threatens to impose a blanket 10% tariff on any country adopting what he terms "anti-American" policies backed by the bloc. This declaration comes after the 2025 BRICS Summit in Brazil, where the member nations, now numbering ten, issued a joint condemnation of recent US-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them "illegal." The BRICS bloc, now representing 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP, has become a significant geopolitical force. In their summit, they also criticized the West's "double standards" on global terror, specifically citing the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir as an example. This direct reference brings the conflict to India's doorstep. Trump claims the tariff letters for 12 countries are already "signed and ready," though sources suggest this could be a strategic bluff to test the bloc's unity. This escalating tension is rooted in BRICS's core mission: to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. With their internal trade hitting $1 trillion in 2025 through local currency systems, the bloc, heavily influenced by China and Russia, is seen as a direct challenge to America's sanctions power and its dominance via institutions like the IMF and G7. For Trump, the bloc's growing anti-West stance and expanding economic influence represents a primary threat to American global leadership, setting the stage for a potential economic war. #BRICS #DonaldTrump #USTariff #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #TradeWar #OneindiaNews #USDollar #Dedollarization Also Read Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.125~
