Direct Communication During Heightened Tensions
According to reports, during a peak in tensions between India and Pakistan, US Vice President JD Vance reached out directly to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This initiative aimed to encourage dialogue towards a ceasefire.
Government sources revealed on Sunday that during the conversation with Vance, PM Modi made India's stance clear, stating that if Pakistan were to attack, India would respond decisively. He emphasized, 'If they fire, we will retaliate with force.' Sources indicated that the attack on the airbase marked a critical turning point.
Further Developments
As reported by a Media House, Vance communicated with Modi via phone. The Prime Minister warned that any aggression would be met with a stronger counterattack. Following his discussion with Vance, Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir and later Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar were also engaged in talks.
Sources indicated that New Delhi conveyed during the discussions that if Pakistan refrains from firing, India would also exercise restraint. The message from India was clear: any dialogue with Pakistan would focus solely on the return of territories in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) and the handover of terrorists.
US Intelligence Reports Prompt Action
It is noteworthy that the CNN report mentioned that on Friday morning, the US received 'dangerous intelligence,' prompting immediate action from top officials in the Trump administration, including Vance, interim National Security Advisor, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and White House Chief of Staff Suzy Wills.
