📍 New Delhi: Amid the rising tensions between India 🇮🇳 and Pakistan 🇵🇰, the United States 🇺🇸 has said it's not going to get involved in a war that's "fundamentally none of our business." While the US can't control India and Pakistan, it can encourage the two countries, which both have nuclear weapons ☢️, to calm things down, said Vice President J D Vance in a TV interview on Thursday.

🗣️ "Look, we're worried anytime countries with nuclear weapons clash and have a big fight," Vance said when asked how concerned the Trump administration is about a possible nuclear war between India and Pakistan. Vance quoted US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who have both said that Washington wants the tensions to "calm down" as quickly as possible.

🛑 "We can't control these countries, though. India has its issues with Pakistan. Pakistan has responded to India. What we can do is try to encourage them to calm down a bit. But we're not going to get involved in the middle of a war that's fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it," the vice president said.

🕊️ "America can't tell India to put down its weapons. We can't tell Pakistan to put down its weapons. And so we're going to keep trying to deal with this through talking. Our hope and what we expect is that this isn't going to turn into a bigger war in the region or, God forbid, a nuclear war, but yes, we are worried about these things. But I think it's the job of talking, but also the job of leaders in India and Pakistan, to make sure this doesn't become a nuclear war. If it happened, of course, it would be terrible. Right now, we don't think that's going to happen," he said.

🧳 Vance, his wife Usha Vance, and their three children were on their first official visit to India when terrorists killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22nd.

🎯 Two weeks after the attack, India launched "Operation Sindoor" on Wednesday, targeting what it said were terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

🚀 On Thursday night, India stopped Pakistan's attempt to hit military bases in Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur, and some other places with missiles and drones as tensions between the two countries got very high, with fears of a wider war.

🛡️ After the Indian military stopped Pakistan's attacks, the defense ministry said India remains "fully prepared to defend its country and make sure its people are safe."

📞 Earlier on Thursday, Secretary of State Rubio spoke separately with India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, stressing that they need to calm things down immediately.

🤝 In his call with Jaishankar, Rubio said the US supports direct talks between India and Pakistan and encouraged them to keep trying to improve communication. He again offered his condolences for the terrible terrorist attack in Pahalgam and said the US is committed to working with India to fight terrorism.

📢 In his conversation with Sharif, Rubio again called on Pakistan to take real steps to stop supporting any terrorist groups.
