In a sharp diplomatic shift, the United States has firmly backed India following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, mostly Hindus. Washington dismissed Pakistan’s demand for a third-party investigation and emphasized India’s right to act against terrorism. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance expressed strong support for India in talks with Indian leaders. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also reaffirmed US solidarity. Intelligence and diplomatic voices, including Tulsi Gabbard and State Department officials, condemned the attack, calling for accountability. The US stance marks a significant tilt in favor of India in South Asia’s strategic landscape. (PC: News18)
