The United States has urged India and Pakistan to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue following a series of border clashes that have intensified tensions between the two countries. Secretary of State Marco Rubio conveyed this message during separate discussions with Indian and Pakistani leaders, highlighting the importance of de-escalation to prevent a broader conflict.
The clashes, which have occurred along the Line of Control in Kashmir, have resulted in casualties and heightened fears of a full-scale military confrontation. Pakistan has warned of potential Indian military strikes, citing credible intelligence, while India has accused Pakistan of supporting militant activities across the border.
In response to the escalating situation, the U.S. has called for the restoration of direct communication between the two nations and emphasized the need for a peaceful resolution to their disputes. While refraining from taking sides, Washington has expressed support for India’s right to defend itself against terrorism and has encouraged Pakistan to cooperate in investigating the recent attacks.
The international community, including the United Nations, has also expressed concern over the rising tensions and called for maximum restraint. The UN has urged both countries to exercise restraint and avoid further military activity, emphasizing the importance of dialogue in resolving their differences.
As the situation remains fluid, the United States continues to monitor developments closely, advocating for diplomatic engagement and supporting efforts to prevent further escalation between India and Pakistan.
