« We want to deeskal what we are as soon as possible. However, we cannot control these countries, » Vance said in an interview with Fox News « Story with Marth Maccallum. »

« What we can do is to try to encourage these people to deeskalal a little, but we will not interfere with in the midst of the war that is basically not our matter and has nothing to do with American ability to control it, » he added.

India is an important partner of Washington, who seeks to oppose the growing influence of China, while Pakistan remains an ally of the United States despite reduced importance after American withdrawal from the neighboring Afghanistan 2021.

Analysts and some former officials believe that American participation in achieving diplomatic goals in the Russian war in Ukraine and the Israeli war in Gaza could make Washington leave India and Pakistan Sama in the coming days of their tension, without much direct pressure from the US government.

Pakistan and India accused each other of launching drones attacks, and the Minister of Defense of Islamabad said further retaliation « was increasingly certain. »

The last escalation in the decades of the old Indian-Pakistan rivalry began on April 2, when Islamist militants killed 26 people in the Indian Kashmor in an attack for which New Delhi blamed Islamabad, who denied allegations and called for a neutral investigation.

« Our hope is our expectations that this will not turn into a broader regional war or, God forbid, nuclear conflict, » Vance said on Thursday.

Washington has regularly talked on both sides in recent days, including Thursday when State Secretary Marco Rubio spoke with Pakistani Prime Minister and Indian Foreign Minister, calling them for deescalary and direct dialogue.

US President Donald Trump called growing tension with shame. On Wednesday, he said that he hoped the two countries would stop now after they started the « eye for the eye ». State Department has invited both countries to work on what Washington calls a « responsible solution ».
