Vance excluded US intervention in conflict between India and Pakistan

US Vice President JD Vance assured that the US would not intervene in the conflict between Pakistan and India. The official called on both sides to de-escalate but described the escalation between the two nuclear powers as not our business, reports The Guardian.
"“What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate a little bit," he said during an interview on Fox News' "The Story with Martha MacCallum."
At the same time, the US Vice President emphasized that the American side is not going to get involved in a war that is fundamentally not our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it.
Vance added that since Washington cannot force either side to lay down their arms, the US will continue to pursue this through diplomatic channels.
"Our hope and our expectation is that this is not going to spiral into a broader regional war or, God forbid, a nuclear conflict," Vance said.
Furthermore, Vance noted that Washington does not anticipate such a scenario, and right now, they do not believe it will happen.
Washington's position
Western media note that India is considered an important partner for Washington, which aims to counter China's growing influence. At the same time, Reuters writes that Pakistan remains an ally of the US, despite its diminishing importance after the withdrawal of American forces from neighboring Afghanistan in 2021.
Analysts and some former officials argue that US involvement in achieving diplomatic goals in the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip could lead Washington to leave India and Pakistan to deal with the early days of escalation without strong direct pressure from the US.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump, reacting to the escalation of the conflict between India and Pakistan, called it a shame.
On May 7, the American leader also urged India and Pakistan to stop exchanging strikes and noted that these countries are already acting eye for an eye.
Military actions between India and Pakistan
In mid-April, militants attacked a group of tourists in the Indian part of the Kashmir region. India accused Pakistan of organizing the terrorist attack. This incident led to an escalation of the conflict between the two countries. On the night of May 7, India and Pakistan exchanged missile strikes, resulting in casualties.
According to CNN, a large-scale aerial battle occurred between Pakistan and India, which was one of the largest and longest modern air battles, involving around 125 military aircraft in the sky.
Later, on the night of May 8, it was reported that explosions were heard near an airport in India, allegedly due to a missile attack from Pakistan.
On May 7, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responding to the missile exchange between India and Pakistan, called for dialogue between the parties to resolve the conflict.
