Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, delivered a letter from Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar to the UNSC President, emphasizing the humanitarian and security consequences of India's actions. The letter stated that India's decision to suspend the IWT, made one year ago, poses serious risks to peace in South Asia. India, on the other hand, has linked the resumption of the treaty to Pakistan's cessation of support for terrorism, asserting that the treaty will remain suspended until Pakistan addresses these security concerns. This situation reflects a broader pattern of escalating tensions, with India accusing Pakistan of using terrorism as a tool against it, while Pakistan seeks international support to restore the treaty and mitigate the humanitarian impact of water scarcity.
