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 Pakistanâs military, intelligence ties, and influence in international forumsâpossibly with help from Saudi Arabiaâto 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.
