Pakistan Thanks Trump for Intervention in Operation Sindoor, Warns on Indus Waters Treaty

hindustantimes.com — September 26, 2026 at 03:01 AM UTC

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked US President Donald Trump for his "timely intervention" during the May 2025 India-Pakistan military confrontation, warning that any attempt to divert Pakistan's Indus River water share would be treated as an "act of war." Addressing the UN General Assembly, Sharif said Trump's intervention came when the two nuclear-armed neighbours stood at the brink of all-out war, crediting the US president with preventing potential devastation. He also praised Pakistan's armed forces for their response to what he called "external aggression from India under a false pretext." Sharif criticised India's decision to hold the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, claiming it had "no legal basis whatsoever" and that UN experts and the Court of Arbitration had rejected India's position. The confrontation followed India's Operation Sindoor, launched after the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.
