Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir threatens to strike Reliance’s Jamnagar refinery during US visit.

During his visit to the United States, Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir issued a sharp and provocative statement, warning of potential military action against Reliance Industries’ Jamnagar refinery in India.

The remarks, made in a strategic and diplomatic setting, have raised concerns over escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, especially at a time when regional stability remains fragile.

The Jamnagar refinery, owned by Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries, is the world’s largest refining complex and a key asset to India’s energy infrastructure. Any threat to such a vital facility not only risks bilateral conflict but also poses significant implications for global oil markets.

General Munir’s comments have been viewed by analysts as an attempt to send a strong message to India in the wake of ongoing disputes, while also rallying domestic sentiment in Pakistan. However, such rhetoric during an official visit to the US — a country with strategic ties to both India and Pakistan — could complicate Islamabad’s diplomatic positioning.

Indian officials have not issued a formal response yet, but security analysts stress that any direct threat to critical infrastructure would be taken seriously and met with strong countermeasures.

The US State Department is expected to address the remarks given the sensitive nature of the statement in the context of regional and international security.
