US Vice President Vance Declines Intervention in Escalating India-Pakistan Conflict

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has stated that the United States will not intervene militarily in the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan, describing it as "fundamentally none of our business." While emphasizing the importance of de-escalation, Vance clarified that the U.S. can only encourage both sides diplomatically and cannot compel them to lay down arms. The conflict has recently escalated with both countries accusing each other of launching drone and missile attacks, resulting in casualties. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has engaged in diplomatic calls with leaders from both India and Pakistan, urging immediate de-escalation and direct dialogue. Vance expressed concern about the potential for the conflict to spiral into a broader regional war or nuclear confrontation but conveyed hope that such an outcome would be avoided. These remarks align with a broader U.S. policy stance favoring reduced direct involvement in foreign conflicts, focusing instead on diplomacy.
