ISLAMABAD: United States Vice President JD Vance has called for restraint to avoid a “broader regional conflict” in South Asia.
Tensions have been running high between the two South Asian nuclear powers — India and Pakistan — since the Pahalgam incident in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
“I am worried…”
In an interview on Fox News’ show, “Special Report with Bret Baier”, when the US Vice President JD Vance was asked: “You worried about India and Pakistan”, he responded: “Oh, sure. I am worried anytime you see a hotspot breaking out, especially between two nuclear powers. We’ve obviously been in close contact with our friends in India and Pakistan. Our hope here is that India responds to this terrorist attack in a way that doesn’t lead to a broader regional conflict.”
“We are obviously in close contact”
“And we hope, frankly, that Pakistan— to the extent that they’re responsible—cooperates with India to make sure that the terrorists, sometimes operating in their territory, are hunted down and dealt with. That’s how we hope this unfolds. We are obviously in close contact. We’ll see what happens,” Vance added.
