The United States has officially distanced itself from Pakistan amid escalating tensions with India.
Historically, Pakistan has relied on US intervention during conflicts, but this time, Washington has made it clear that it will not mediate or interfere.
During a recent interview with Fox News, US Vice President JD Vance reiterated Washington’s position, stating, “We’re not going to get involved in a war that’s fundamentally none of our business.” This statement signals a crucial policy shift, reinforcing America’s hands-off approach.
Pakistan now faces diplomatic isolation, with only limited support from China, Turkey, and Azerbaijan, while its traditional allies, such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have adopted neutral or pro-India stances. Meanwhile, India’s proactive military operations, including past surgical strikes and diplomatic outreach to G20 and Gulf states, have strengthened its position globally.
The shift in US policy reflects changing international priorities and a deeper alignment with India’s counterterrorism efforts. As Pakistan grapples with internal political instability and economic struggles, the lack of external support may force it to rethink its strategic options.
