“We are not going to get involved.” The American vice president, JD Vance, estimated on Thursday, May 8 that the conflict between India and Pakistan was not “fundamentally the business” of the United States, while advocating a “decalcalation.”
“What we can do is encourage them to descend, but we are not going to get involved in a war that is not fundamentally our business,” said JD Vance during an interview with American Channel Fox News in the program “The story with Martha Maccallum”.
As for a pause between the two nuclear powers, the US presidency “will continue to continue this path on the diplomatic route.” “We wait and wait for this to degenerate in a larger regional war or, God preserves us, in a nuclear conflict,” adds JD Vance. “At the moment, we don’t believe it happens.”
If the American vice president is part of the “First America” line, desired by Donald Trump, between India and Pakistan, the state of the war is established. Nueva Delhi accuses Islamabad on Friday of a new wave of night attacks in its territory and Pakistan lists new dead, despite international calls for brokenness.
53 dead in India and Pakistan
The attacks between the two nuclear powers caused the death of around fifty civilians since the Indian attacks took place on Wednesday in the Pakistani soil in retaliation for the attack of April 22 in the Indian part of Kashmir. India accuses Pakistan of supporting the jihadist group that suspects having killed 26 people in the tourist city of Pahalgam. Islamabad firmly denied any participation.
The Indian missile fire was immediately followed by a Pakistani response, which led the two countries in their most fatal military confrontation for more than two decades.
On Friday morning, India reported “multiple attacks” of Drones and Pakistani shots during the night “along the border.” “Drones attacks have been postponed and the issue of an appropriate response,” added the army. Pakistan denies having hit the Indian territory. During these attacks, a civilian was murdered by a mortar shot in the URI sector, a police source told the AFP under the cover of anonymity.
The last evaluation published Thursday by India reported 16 civilians. For his part, Pakistan deplored 37 dead.
“Neutralized threat”
Pakistani Kashmir officials reported that the Indian artillery fire killed five civilians at night, saying that “the Pakistani army directed an intense counterattack and attacked three Indian positions along the control line,” the de facto border. On the side of India, schools were closed throughout the Indian Kashmir, as well as in Penjab and Rajasthan. On the side of Pakistan, the schools of Kashmir and Pandjab Pakistani, as well as Islamabad will not open again before Monday.
A total of 24 airports in the northwest neighborhood of India closed for security reasons. On Thursday night, the Indian part of Cashmere, whose two countries have claimed complete sovereignty since its score in 1947, was shaken by numerous explosions.
Nueva Delhi immediately attributed them to a series of drone strikes and Pakistani missiles aimed at military facilities. “Without losses. The threat was neutralized,” said the Ministry of Defense of India.
Early in the day, it was Lahore, the great Pakistani city that bordered India, which had woken up at the sound of explosions. India confirmed that the air defense deployed there has “neutralized” in response to a night attack of “Pakistani missiles and drones” that had as “military objectives”.
Drones attacks
The Pakistani army, meanwhile, said Thursday that he has killed 29 drones sent by India to at least nine cities, some headquarters of accommodation in military or intelligence, such as Rawalpindi, the city of Jumelle in the capital of Islamabad.
The Pakistani Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, said the drones had “tried to attack military sites” and “an objective of civilians”, killing one and hurting four soldiers.
After one of his drones fell near the Cricket Rawalpindi stadium, Islamabad announced to relocate its national championship to the United Arab Emirates. New Delhi, meanwhile, suspended his first very lucrative league until again notice, according to the Indian media.
The crisis group of the International Research Center (ICG) warns “the risks of an escalation” because “of the Belic Rhetoric, the domestic agitation and the vertical logic of the desktop” of the two neighbors. Despite the succession of military operations, the two rivals continue to publicly deny any aggressive intention.
Media War
Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar accused the Indian media of “misinformation.” “Until then, we have only defended each other!” Said. The Indian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, also said that “it was not intention” of his country “to cause a new climb.” But he promised a “very firm response” in case of a new attack.
In this war climate, foreign calls repeated to restriction find it increasingly difficult to be heard. After Islamabad, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi continued his mediation in New Delhi on Thursday. Iran is “ready to do everything possible to help reduce tensions,” he said after his visit.
The ICG is concerned about the fact that “foreign powers seem quite indifferent to the possibility that two nuclear states that share a long conflicting history can enter war.” The confrontation between the two countries is also in the front of the information.
India has ordered more than 8,000 accounts on Thursday to X, including those of international media. The social network has said that he has contacted him to counteract there, denouncing the “censorship.” Nueva Delhi had already demanded the prohibition in India of several stories of political figures, celebrities or even Pakistani media.
