India Makes Diplomatic Push for Military Action Against Pakistan

- India identified three attackers, two Pakistani nationals, and has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, closed Pakistani airspace, expelled diplomats, and announced airspace closure until May 23.
- The U.S. Top diplomatic official called for reduced tensions and cooperation between the countries, while Pakistan rejected involvement in the incident, warned of a strong retaliation, and anticipated possible Indian military action within the next 24 to 36 hours.
- India is seeking international support to justify military retaliation under self-defense laws, but faces diplomatic challenges including Pakistan's Security Council seat and China's backing of Islamabad.
