Pakistan ties can help US 'discourage' things India is worried about: Marco Rubio
- On Tuesday, United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended maintaining diplomatic ties with Pakistan, citing the country's nuclear arsenal and strategic location as essential to United States foreign policy.
- Rubio explained that managing United States foreign policy requires relationships with countries despite disagreements, comparing such engagement to India's own diplomatic ties with Iran as an example of necessary balancing acts.
- Continuous diplomatic engagement with Islamabad equips Washington with leverage to "discourage" activities that cause apprehension in New Delhi, Rubio stated, positioning engagement as a way to help address Indian concerns.
- Addressing maritime security, Rubio condemned Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, characterizing the tactics as "Nazi U Boat tactics" that target non-combatant sailors and deserve international condemnation.
- With traffic in the Strait remaining 80 to 100% stable, the United States continues applying economic pressure on Tehran, as Rubio asserted resources are diverted toward weapons development rather than improving Iranian lives.
