Following four days of escalating conflict between India and Pakistan, US intervention helped broker a ceasefire regarding the Kashmir dispute. While this de-escalation has momentarily halted the most severe military confrontation in a quarter-century, analysts caution that achieving enduring peace will be challenging. Experts note that the US effectively facilitated the ceasefire by applying diplomatic pressure, including leveraging IMF conditions. Histories of national pride and ongoing tensions between both nations illustrate the fragility of this truce, suggesting that real long-term resolution remains elusive.
The US has played a helpful role in getting Pakistan to agree to a ceasefire. The recent de-escalation marks a momentary end to their worst military confrontation in 25 years.
Pakistan and India both needed a ceasefire but neither country wanted to be the one that asked for it first due to national pride and leaders' egos.
