‘Not Our Job’: JD Vance
In an interview, Vance stated, “We expect India and Pakistan to manage their situation. America will pursue a diplomatic path, but it is not our job to directly intervene between the two countries.” He further added that Pakistan must eliminate terrorism from its soil to ensure regional stability.
Strong Measures Following Terrorist Attack
This statement comes at a time when India has adopted a strong stance against Pakistan following a terrorist attack in Kashmir. India has not only impacted Pakistan’s water supply but has also deployed its aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant, near Karachi. These events have further exacerbated tensions between the two countries.
Call for Restraint from Both Nations
Vance also expressed concern that tensions between two nuclear-armed nations could threaten regional and global stability. He appealed to both countries to exercise restraint and work towards a diplomatic solution. The international community is closely monitoring the situation. Experts believe that America’s neutral stance in this matter could encourage both countries to negotiate, but it could also escalate tensions in the region.
