One Small Mistake Could Trigger An Uncontrollable Escalation Between India and Pakistan
- On April 22, 2025, terrorists attacked tourists in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 people and injuring many others.

- The US condemned the attack as terror, reaffirmed support for India, urged measured Indian responses, called for Pakistan’s cooperation, and maintained ongoing communication with both nations.
- US Vice President JD Vance stressed the need for India’s measured response to avoid broader regional conflict and urged Pakistan to help hunt terrorists, stating, "We hope, frankly, that Pakistan... Cooperates with India."
- The incident increased tensions with Pakistan, led to US repeat of prior crisis management drills, and signaled Washington’s intent to prevent escalation while supporting India's right to self-defense.
