Quite useless hollow empty rhetoric. They are literally out of options. IWT treaty has been suspended not scrapped.
Economic sanctions could have been unveiled. But I think they are lots of issues in that.

All bluster and rhetoric from the Indians. Apart from that, they aint gonna do shit. 2019 is still fresh in their brains and this time we wont be too lenient and shoot down 1 plane.

Water resources fall in our nuclear red lines; if India wants to become a radioactive wasteland, their wish will be granted.

They can bet their asses we wont let half of Pakistan go arid.

“Any attempt to stop or divert the flow of water belonging to Pakistan as per the Indus Waters Treaty, and the usurpation of the rights of lower riparian will be considered as an Act of War and responded with full force across the complete spectrum of national power,” as per the NSC statement.

Pakistan just announced nuclear apocalypse to protect water. FAFO law in full effect, ball is in the court of the Indians.

Nicely done. Only Indian airlines will face the heat not the airlines of other nations. Now gulf/turkish airlines will make billions more from Indians as their own airlines go bankrupt

Gimmick. Indians know their carrier personnel will be counting fishes on the seabed of the Arabian sea if they came inside our waters.

Hype and sensationalism propagation by media in full effect.

Does India actually have the infrastructure to restrict water to Pakistan? It should require massive amounts of water capacity through dams, right?

Such dams on the rivers that Pakistan relies upon would be massive construction projects past the dams themselves (to channel that water). Its impossible to do economically to begin with....you have to cleave through some big mountains to do it. So diversion is impossible.

Having storage capacity dams, again its very bad land use for same reason (the geography upstream).... and would just be out of spite given local population is low compared to downstream Pakistan. It would be untenable conflict point and there would be plenty of advance warning to Pakistan its coming given the time to build such a dam.

India makes full use of the Ravi, Sutlej and Beas river as these both have geography apt for diversion and pondage retention.

That is why/how IWT was negotiated on physical realities and constraints (i.e why Ravi and Beas were given entirely to India to compensate for what is not feasible on the others compared to where Pakistan can feasibly tap those water resource more optimally)....so the basic contours of that will not change.

Abeyance is also a suspension not a scrapping, it can be restored after some time. We will have to wait and see what other responses occur in this tension window.
