US demands reluctance to tensions between India and Pakistan in the Kashmir conflict

The United States increase the pressure on India and Pakistan to avoid a conflict in Kashmir, according to a massacre of tourists in an area of the controversial region last week.

political reactions of the USA

The US Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday that Washington hopes that Pakistan would help hunting the responsible and other terrorist groups that “sometimes” operate from Pakistani soil. India has long accused Pakistan of supporting militant groups that have committed attacks, including Kashmir. However, Islamabad has always rejected these allegations.

India measures and international appeals

Vance asked India to combine the promise of pursuing the attackers of the tourist massacre "to the end of the earth" with restraint in order to prevent the tensions from resulting in a war between nuclear. "Our hope is that India will react to this terrorist attack in a way that does not lead to a larger regional conflict," said Vance in an interview with Fox News.

international diplomacy in focus

his statements reflected that of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who spoke on Wednesday with high-ranking Pakistani and Indian officials and asked both rivals to work together to "dismantle the tensions". In his conversation with India's Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Rubio expressed his regret about the lost life in the terrorist terrorist attack in Pahangam and confirmed the commitment of the United States for working with India in the fight against terrorism.

The escalating situation in Kashmir

The fear of a broader conflict grew when the Pakistani Minister of Information Attaullah Tarar understood that his country had "credible information" that India is planning military promotions against Pakistan in the next 24-36 hours. This period has now passed. On April 22, 26 civilians, most of them, were murdered in the mountain town of Pahalgam in the Indian -managed cashmere, which led to far -reaching outrage.

risk of war and military conflicts

Since then, India and Pakistan have started an interplay of mutual hostilities. India closed its airspace for commercial flights from Pakistan on Tuesday and thus responded to the flight ban from Islamabad for flights from India that was imposed last week. Both countries demonstratively show their military strength; Pakistan shot an Indian drone on Tuesday, which was used in the controversial Kashmir area for "spy". The Indian marine had previously carried out test rocket attacks.

history of the conflict

Kashmir is one of the most dangerous points of conflict in the world and is partly controlled by India and Pakistan, both of which claim the entire area for themselves. The two nuclear armed rivals have waged three wars around the mountainous area since their independence of Great Britain almost 80 years ago. The recent attack on tourists in Kashmir triggered fears that India could possibly react similarly to as it happened in 2019

military strength and asymmetrical skills

In a conventional conflict, India has a significant advantage: the Indian defense budget exceeds this by Pakistan by more than nine times. This supports an active Indian force of almost 1.5 million soldiers, compared to only 660,000 in Pakistan. India has 3,750 main fighting tanks and more than 10,000 artillery pieces in the country, while Pakistan can only show two thirds of these figures. The Indian Navy also has an overwhelming superiority at sea.

conclusion and outlook

The rivalry between India and Pakistan remains tense, with constant military threats and a history of conflicts that increase the possibility of further war. It remains to be seen how both countries react to current developments and whether international diplomacy can prevent escalation.

The information in this report has been updated to make it clear that Vice President JD Vance said militant groups “sometimes” operating from Pakistan.
