Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Asim Munir, has issued unprecedented nuclear threats from US soil, warning that Islamabad would “take half the world down” if faced with an existential war against India. Speaking at a closed-door dinner in Tampa, Florida hosted by businessman and honorary consul Adnan Asad, Munir vowed to retaliate against any Indian infrastructure on the Indus River, saying Pakistan had “no shortage of missiles, al-hamdulillah.” He accused New Delhi of endangering 250 million Pakistanis by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty after April’s Pahalgam terror attack.

In a stark warning, Munir said, “We will wait for India to build a dam and then destroy it with ten missiles. The Indus is not the Indians’ family property.” Reports indicate that approximately 120 Pakistani-origin Florida residents attended the event, alongside a representative of the Israel Defense Forces.

Munir devoted much of his address to the recent four-day India-Pakistan conflict, challenging New Delhi to disclose its war losses, promising Pakistan would do the same. He admitted Pakistan’s economic and strategic disadvantage through a “crude analogy,” calling India a “shiny Mercedes” and Pakistan a “dump truck full of gravel”—but one capable of inflicting severe damage in a collision.

He also referenced a previous propaganda tweet quoting the Quran’s Surah Al-Fil with an image of Mukesh Ambani, warning of attacks starting from India’s east.

Munir’s Florida visit, his second US trip in two months, follows a White House luncheon with President Donald Trump, whose name he again proposed for a Nobel Peace Prize. Amid speculation over his political ambitions, Munir argued for deeper military involvement in governance, declaring: “Politics is too serious to be left to the politicians.”

If confirmed, these remarks mark the first known instance of nuclear threats being issued from American soil against a third country, risking diplomatic repercussions far beyond South Asia.
