US Vice President JD Vance asserted that he anticipates that India’s actions against Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives- would not lead to a “broader regional conflict.”
Vance hopes Pakistan cooperates with India against terrorist
While talking to Fox News in a podcast, Vance said, “Our hope here is that India responds to this terrorist attack in a way that doesn’t lead to a broader regional conflict. And we hope, frankly, that Pakistan, to the extent that they’re responsible, cooperates with India to make sure that the terrorists sometimes operating in their territory are hunted down and dealt with.”

The talks between the two leaders come as there has been a rise in ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir after the April 22 brutal attack in Pahalgam, where terrorists killed 26 people and injured many others. The Indian Army has effectively responded to the Pakistan Army’s unprovoked small arms firing across the LoC.
