HT.com independently couldn't verify the development.

The verse, from Surah Al-Fil (The Elephant), is interpreted by many as an allegory for an aerial strike in the context of modern warfare. Historically, it refers to the ‘Year of the Elephant’ (around 570 CE), when an invading army led by Yemen’s ruler Abraha was destroyed by divine intervention, flocks of birds dropping stones of baked clay, the report added.

By naming Mukesh Ambani, Munir appeared to single out a figure who embodies India’s economic strength and global standing.

In the address to the Pakistani diaspora, Munir also reportedly made a nuclear threat in case his country faced an existential threat in a future war with India.

In a strong response to Munir's nuclear threat from US soil, the ministry of external affairs said India has already made it clear that it will not give in to nuclear blackmail and that it will continue to take all steps necessary to safeguard national security.

The MEA said Munir's remarks reinforced the well-held doubts about the integrity of nuclear command and control in Pakistan, where the military is "hand-in-glove" with terrorist groups.
