United States Vice President J.D. Vance has categorically announced that America will not intervene in the ongoing military conflict between Pakistan and India, asserting that it is not a matter of direct concern to the United States.
In a candid interview with Fox News, Vice President Vance stated, “India launched an attack on Pakistan, and Pakistan responded in kind. We will not become involved in the Pakistan-India war because it has nothing to do with us.” He emphasized that while Washington is actively utilizing diplomatic channels to de-escalate tensions in South Asia, the U.S. will not engage militarily. “A nuclear war between Pakistan and India must be avoided at all costs, as it would be catastrophic for the entire world,” he warned.
The Vice President reassured that the U.S. is committed to diffusing tensions through diplomacy and believes the possibility of a nuclear exchange remains low at present.
Vance also took aim at former President Joe Biden’s foreign policy, criticizing the previous administration’s decisions as detrimental to American interests. He stated that if consultations on European affairs are needed, “we will not be taking advice from Joe Biden.” He further shared his views on U.S.-U.K. trade agreements, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, and broader European affairs.
Addressing the state of the U.S. economy, he also presented his position on the trade standoff with China and reiterated the administration’s commitment to protecting American economic interests.
This statement comes in the wake of serious military escalation between Pakistan and India. On the night of May 6–7, 2025, following the killing of tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, India launched unprovoked attacks on Pakistani civilian areas, triggering open hostilities.
In response, Pakistan’s armed forces delivered a powerful retaliatory strike, downing five Indian fighter jets—including three Rafale aircraft—and targeting multiple Indian military posts, including a brigade headquarters. The Indian military reportedly raised white flags at the Chura Complex along the Line of Control, signaling surrender after suffering significant losses.
Pakistan’s National Security Committee has since granted full authority to the armed forces for decisive retaliation, affirming the country’s resolve to defend its sovereignty.
Meanwhile, global powers including the United States, European Union, China, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Russia, Germany, Greece, and Switzerland have expressed deep concern over the escalating hostilities. All have urged both nations to seek a peaceful resolution through dialogue.
