The article focuses on the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly the reactions of the US and China. The US, through President Trump, offered assistance and claimed good relations with both nations. China, a long-time ally of Pakistan, tacitly supported Pakistan's actions, highlighting the use of Chinese-made fighter jets by Pakistan.
While direct intervention is unlikely, the article emphasizes the deepening security ties between the US and India, and China and Pakistan. The US provided strong support to India, with high-level briefings and communication following India's missile strikes. India rebuffed the idea of external mediation or investigation.
The situation underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region, with the US and China indirectly supporting their respective allies through security cooperation and diplomatic support. This indirect support further complicates the already tense situation between India and Pakistan.
While the global powers are unlikely to become directly involved in the conflict, experts pointed to deepening security ties between the US and India on one side and China and Pakistan on the other, as a sign that they are expected to offer various forms of support to their respective partners.
According to senior Indian officials, the US and India maintained “robust” and “strong” lines of communication before and after the strikes with Washington expressing “overwhelming” support for India’s fight against terrorism.
The officials said that India briefed US National Security Adviser and Secretary of State Marco Rubio “at length” about the context and intelligence information behind the strikes just hours after they occurred, stressing that any external mediation or investigation would be futile.
