U.S. Vice President JD Vance recently commented on the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, stating that it is “none of our business” and that the U.S. will not intervene militarily in the conflict.
Here are the key points:
The comment came after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, on April 22, which killed 26 people. India blamed Pakistan, while Pakistan denied involvement and called for a neutral investigation.
Vance emphasized that the U.S. cannot control the actions of two nuclear-armed nations and has no direct interest in the conflict.
He urged Pakistan to take action against terrorists operating from its soil and also warned India to avoid actions that could escalate into a larger regional war.
This stance reflects the “America First” policy — minimizing U.S. involvement in global conflicts unless directly necessary.
Meanwhile, there have been reports of air skirmishes, missile strikes, and border fire exchanges between India and Pakistan, raising fears of further escalation.
Other global leaders, including U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have called for restraint and dialogue from both countries.
