JD Vance delivered a private and politically relevant statement about the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, which resulted in the death of 26 innocent victims, with one identified as Nepali. The incident has sent massive tremors across India, a together with international diplomatic relations.
At the moment of the incident, Vice President Vance expressed extensive personal sorrow while demonstrating his full support for the Indian citizens. According to his Fox News interview, Vance urged India to take decisive action and proceed with caution to protect the delicate geopolitical environment in South Asia.
According to Vance the Indian response to terrorism should aim to prevent larger regional confrontation. We expect Pakistan to assist India by providing help to trace the terrorists who committed this act.
The United States shows increasing preoccupation about the terrorist group origins that originate from militant organizations based in Pakistan, according to Vance’s evaluation. The U.S. Vice President expressed the necessity of joint international efforts with Pakistan to stop terrorism during his statement about the matter.
Baisaran Valley received the name “Mini Switzerland” because it contains picturesque green meadows, and many visitors come to this area each year. Tourists panicked as gunfire erupted throughout the hills, so they ran away from the area. The open terrain presented no possible shelter points during the time of chaos and fear when witnesses observed the situation.
Following the massacre, India chose to put an end to the 1960s Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. Federal authorities in India have implemented a dual strategy of returning back all Pakistani residents already present in the country on temporary authorization.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi got a straight call from JD Vance, wherein the Vice President conveyed sincere condolences and renewed U.S. support to fight terrorism. “Usha and I extend our condolences to the victims of the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India. Over the past few days, we have been overcome with the beauty of this country and its people. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they mourn this horrific attack.”
Multiple U.S. leaders, including former President Donald Trump, have publicly condemned the attack, labeling it “unconscionable” and ” terror.” However, most stopped short of explicitly blaming Pakistan, likely to avoid inflaming diplomatic tensions further.
Indian security personnel launched a huge operation of search on the entire zone with the group that attacked its center. To date, no group has claimed responsibility for it, but security sources are getting leads from taped communications and patterns consistent with past cross-border attacks by reducing suspects in numbers.
This assault, one of the worst in Kashmir since the 2019 abrogation of Article 370, has again put the international spotlight on the volatile Indo-Pakistani border dynamics — a space where diplomacy tightropes over history, politics, and human life.
