In a lighthearted yet sharp moment during a press conference in New York, Shashi Tharoor was questioned by none other than his son, Ishan Tharoor of The Washington Post.

Representing India’s diplomatic response to terrorism under Operation Sindoor, Tharoor emphasized there was “no doubt” among global stakeholders about Pakistan’s involvement. The brief family exchange added a personal touch to a high-stakes global briefing.

Just days before the Pahalgam terror attack, a controversial U.S.-Pakistan crypto deal was signed in Islamabad involving Trump’s sons and Jared Kushner. With a 60% stake in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family aims to position Pakistan as South Asia’s crypto hub. The deal has drawn criticism in New Delhi over alleged political motives, especially with Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir’s backing. Despite growing scrutiny, Trump’s family and the White House remain silent, while Pakistan’s Crypto Council claims the agreement is purely economic and focused on blockchain integration and digital inclusion.

Washington-based South Asia analyst Michael Kugelman explains why the U.S. intervened during the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Initially maintaining a watchful stance, Vice President Vance and President Trump eventually pushed for a ceasefire due to two major concerns: rapid military escalation and fears around nuclear security. Kugelman noted that the U.S. was alarmed by India’s targeting of a strategic air base near nuclear sites in Rawalpindi. These developments prompted a rare shift from passive observation to active diplomatic pressure.

Behind the scenes of the India-Pakistan ceasefire lies calculated pressure from the United States. Relying heavily on U.S.-controlled IMF loans and military aid, Pakistan was reportedly nudged by Washington to de-escalate. The U.S. is believed to have used its sway over Pakistan’s military, intelligence ties, and influence in international forums—possibly with help from Saudi Arabia—to defuse tensions. The strategic move helped avoid a full-scale conflict, as India also agreed to the ceasefire to ensure economic stability and regional peace.

India’s powerful and precise military response under Operation Sindoor forced Pakistan to seek a ceasefire, following the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Army’s targeted strikes on nine terror hubs across Pakistan and PoK sent a clear message: terror will be met with force. Despite international outreach, including behind-the-scenes pressure from the U.S. reportedly linked to Pakistan’s IMF bailout, India held its ground—refusing any political dialogue or compromise. The ceasefire was brokered solely through military channels, with Pakistan’s DGMO reaching out first. Indian officials have reiterated: any future provocation will cross a red line.

The IMF’s approval of a $1 billion loan to Pakistan sparks controversy, with India raising serious concerns. India’s government warns that the funds could be used to fuel state-backed terrorism, especially as Pakistani drones target Indian cities for the third consecutive night. Despite India's protests, the IMF greenlights the funds without conditions. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif celebrates the decision, mocking India’s stance while civilians in Ferozepur continue to suffer. India abstains from the IMF vote, demanding accountability for the aid potentially supporting terror operations.
