US congressmen say war between India, Pakistan unimaginable 

Describing the war between India and Pakistan, two nuclear powers, as unimaginable, the US congressmen said on Sunday that if the war started, it would be difficult to control it, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The congressmen also said that India had failed to provide proof of Pakistan’s involvement in the Pahalgam terror attack.

Congressman Keith Alan Self said that the chances of war between the two countries were minimal. 

Another congressman, Jack Bergman, a democrat, said that the US needed to play its part for peace in South Asia along with other like-minded countries.  

Two days ago, 24News TV channel had reported that US Vice-President JD Vance had said that the US was working to ensure tensions between Pakistan and India don’t escalate into a broader regional conflict in the wake of an attack last week that killed dozens of people in the Indian-occupied Kashmir.

In a podcast interview with Bret Baeir of Fox News, Vance said, “I’m worried about any time you see a hot spot breaking out, especially between two nuclear powers.”

Vance said the US has been in close contact with officials in India and Pakistan. “Our hope here is that India responds to this attack in a way that doesn’t lead to a broader regional conflict,” Vance said, adding the US wants to see Pakistan cooperate as much as possible with India “to make sure that the terrorists sometimes operating in their territory are hunted down and dealt with.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with top officials from India and Pakistan on Wednesday, asking them to “maintain peace and security in South Asia.” He told Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan’s prime minister, of the need to condemn the attack and re-establish direct communications, according to a statement from the State Department.
