US Engages India and Pakistan to Defuse Tensions After Kashmir Attack

The United States is actively communicating with India and Pakistan, urging both nations to pursue a “responsible resolution” amid escalating tensions following a deadly attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, on April 22, 2025. The assault, which claimed 26 lives, primarily tourists, marked one of the deadliest incidents in the disputed Himalayan region since 2000. A group calling itself The Resistance Front (TRF) claimed responsibility, though its origins remain unclear. India has suggested, without evidence, that the attackers may have cross-border ties, a claim Pakistan vehemently denies. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called for an impartial investigation into the incident.
