US Vice President Clarifies Policy Of Non-Intervention
US Vice President JD Vance explained that the United States would not intervene in the ongoing war between India and Pakistan. While giving an interview to Fox News, he indicated anxiety regarding the developing situation between the two nuclear nations.
Vance added that the U.S. is concerned about the situation escalating into a bigger crisis. He emphasized that India has complained about Pakistan, and Pakistan is responding to things that India has done. He went on to say that the U.S. can try to encourage both sides to de-escalate tensions but would not become a participant in the war.
"We want things to de-escalate quickly. It's not America's role to join this war," he stated.
Talks Over Guns and Conflict Resolution
Vance stressed that the U.S. is not demanding India or Pakistan to abandon their guns. Yet, he asserted that peaceful dialogue is the sole means to stop the conflict from escalating into a regional crisis.
The crisis deepened Thursday night when the Pakistani military claimed shooting down approximately 50 drones supposedly dispatched by India.
State Department Remarks on Tensions
U.S. State Department spokesman Tommy Bruce also addressed the growing tensions. He explained that the situation between the two nations has been strained for decades and the escalation of the situation after the terrorist attack was not surprising.
"Further escalation must be avoided," Bruce said.
He emphasized open communication between the two nations. The U.S., Bruce said, has talked to leaders in India and Pakistan during the last two days. Pakistan demanded an independent probe into the Pahalgam attack.
Bruce further added that the U.S. wishes those who planned the attack to be held accountable and brought before justice.
