Washington:
The US State Department said on Sunday that Washington was in touch with both India and Pakistan, while they urged to work towards the fact that it is called a “responsible solution” as tension between the two Asian countries has increased after the recent Islamic terrorist attack in Kashmir.
Publicly, the US government has expressed support for India after the attack but has not criticized Pakistan. India convicted Pakistan for the April 22 attack in Kashmir, killing more than two dozen people. Pakistan denied responsibility and called for a neutral investigation.
“This is a developed situation and we are monitoring development. We are in touch with the governments of India and Pakistan at many levels,” a spokesman for the US State Department told Reuters.
The spokesperson said, “The United States encourages all parties to work together towards a responsible resolution.”
The State Department spokesman also stated that Washington “stands with India and strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, reiterating the same comments made by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
India is a rapidly important American partner as Washington aims to compete with China’s growing influence in Asia, while Pakistan remains an American ally, even its importance for Washington has returned from neighboring Afghanistan since 2021.
Michael Kugelman, a Washington -based South Asia analyst and author of the foreign policy magazine, said India is now a very close American partner than Pakistan.
Kugelman told Reuters, “It could worry Islamabad that if India takes a military vengeance, the US can sympathize with its anti-terrorism imperative and cannot try to stand on the way,” Kugelman told Reuters.
The Kugelman also said that in view of Washington’s involvement and ongoing diplomatic efforts in the war of Russia in the war of Russia in Gaza, the Trump administration is “doing a lot on its global plate” and can leave India and Pakistan on its own, at least in the early days of stress.
Hussain Haqqani, a former Pakistan ambassador to the US and a senior partner of the Hudson Institute Think Tank, also said that there was no American hunger to calm the situation at this time.
“India has a long complaint about terrorism or exits across the border. Pakistan has a long confidence that India wants to destroy it. Both work in a frenzy every few years. There is no interest in calming things this time,” said Haqani.
Growing stress
The Muslim-Bahul Kashmir is claimed by both Hindu-biological India and Islamic Pakistan, who rule only parts of each and have fought war in the first Himalayan region.
Hindu nationalist Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to pursue the attackers for the “end of the earth” and said that those who planned and punished the Kashmir attack and punished beyond their imagination “. Calls have also increased from Indian politicians and others for military action against Pakistan.
After the attack, India and Pakistan launched a part of measures against each other, Pakistan suspended the Indian Airlines and the 1960 Indus Water Treaty to India, which controls water-decorating from the Indus River and its tributaries.
Both sides have exchanged fire in their actual boundary after four -year relatives calmed down.
A small -known terrorist group, Kashmir resistance, claimed responsibility for the attack in a social media message. Indian security agencies say that Kashmir resistance, also known as resistance front, is a front for terrorist organizations such as Lashkar-e-Tabiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.
Ned Price, a former US State Department official under the administration of former President Joe Biden, said that when the Trump administration was giving sensitivity to the issue he was entitled to, it is a belief that it would return to India and move forward.
“The Trump administration has made it clear that this US-India partnership-wishes to deepen a commendable target-but it is ready to do so at almost any cost. If India feels that the Trump administration will return to it, we may be in store for more violence and more violence.”
