Following the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, that claimed 26 lives, the United States has reaffirmed its full support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and condemned terrorism in all forms.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated rapidly after the April 22 attack, which marked the deadliest assault in the Valley since the 2019 Pulwama incident. In a strong statement, US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the Trump administration is standing firmly with India and is closely monitoring the situation.
“PM Modi Has Full Support”: US Reacts to Pahalgam Attack
During a press briefing, Tammy Bruce shared that Prime Minister Modi has the full backing of the US administration in the wake of the Pahalgam tragedy. She emphasized that the US remains in continuous contact with both India and Pakistan as tensions rise.
“We are monitoring closely. The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has spoken with both Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif,” she stated.
She reiterated that the US strongly supports India in its fight against terrorism and encouraged both nations to pursue peace and regional stability through responsible dialogue.
Vice President JD Vance Calls on Pakistan to Act
In a more pointed message, US Vice President JD Vance urged Pakistan to take accountability for terrorist groups operating within its borders.
“We hope that Pakistan, to the extent they’re responsible, cooperates with India and ensures that terrorists hiding on its soil are hunted down and brought to justice,” Vance told Fox News.
While calling for restraint from India, Vance acknowledged the country’s right to defend itself and urged Pakistan to step up in eliminating terrorism from its territory.
India Vows Strong Response to Pahalgam Terror
In response to the brutal attack that took 26 innocent lives, India has made it clear: there will be consequences.
The terror group The Resistance Front (TRF) — a known proxy of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) — claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam massacre. The government has since granted full operational freedom to the Indian Armed Forces, allowing them to decide how, when, and where to respond.
“We will strike back. The perpetrators will pay,” a senior official stated, reflecting the national mood of grief and resolve.
A Region on Edge – But Hope for Stability Remains
As the dust settles and India prepares its next steps, the international community watches closely. With the US backing India and urging Pakistan to act responsibly, there’s still hope for diplomatic de-escalation.
While hearts are heavy across India, especially among the families of those lost in Pahalgam, there’s also growing unity and determination. India is standing tall, and the world is taking notice.
