Why Did America Jump In? U.S Expert Reveals What Forced America To Mediate India-Pak Ceasefire
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.

India-Pak Ceasefire: In a dramatic shift, U.S. Vice President JD Vance — who recently declared that the India-Pakistan conflict was "none of our business" — is now drawing fire online after praising the ceasefire mediated by the U.S. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a breakthrough in ending hostilities, but many are calling out the hypocrisy. Social media users are quick to compare Vance’s changing stance, accusing him of political opportunism amid a fragile peace deal between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
Watch the full report on how JD Vance went from disengagement to diplomatic applause — and how the internet is reacting.

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, has sparked waves with his limited but telling 2025 social media posts. Before his election, he subtly criticized Vice President JD Vance, reposted content calling out Donald Trump's stance on immigration, and expressed support for Pope Francis' health. His posts reflect a compassionate stance on immigration, Dreamers, gun reform, and climate action-drawing cheers from liberals and concern from right-wing commentators. Though not prolific online, these posts provide a glimpse into the political leanings of the first American pope and what his leadership could signal for the global Church.

US Vice-President JD Vance stated that the India-Pakistan conflict is “fundamentally none of our business” as Pakistan’s missile and drone attacks were intercepted by India’s defence systems. Amid cross-border tensions and India’s retaliation through Operation Sindoor, Vance emphasized diplomacy over involvement. President Donald Trump echoed a neutral stance but offered to help mediate. With rising hostilities along the LoC and fears of escalation, Washington’s refusal to intervene underscores a shift in US foreign policy under the Trump-Vance administration.

Donald Trump called it a “Great Honor” as Robert Prevost became the first American pope, taking the name Leo XIV. The 69-year-old former Chicago bishop's election stunned the world and thrilled the U.S. But past tensions linger — Leo XIV previously criticized U.S. leaders, including Vice President JD Vance. Trump, however, welcomed the election warmly, writing on Truth Social that he looks forward to meeting the new pope. The moment marks a historic first for the Vatican and the United States, but political undertones remain impossible to ignore.

As U.S. trade tensions mount, China is strengthening its grip on Latin America. At the China-CELAC Forum in Beijing, leaders from across the region gathered, with many deepening their commitment to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. With two-thirds of Latin American countries already on board, China has become the top trading partner for major economies like Brazil and Peru. Meanwhile, Trump's tariff threats and warnings over the Panama Canal have driven mistrust. China now positions itself as the reliable partner Latin America can count on.

Trump is at the center of a political and legal storm after confirming plans to temporarily use a $400 million Boeing 747-8 — dubbed the “Flying Palace” — reportedly offered by Qatar’s royal family. Trump claims the ultra-luxurious jet is a “gift, free of charge” to the U.S. government while the new Air Force One fleet faces delays. However, Qatari officials deny it’s a personal gift to Trump and say the deal remains under review with the U.S. Department of Defense. Critics, including top Democrats, warn the arrangement may breach the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and raise national security concerns over foreign influence.

Zelensky said he will be waiting in Türkiye on Thursday, emphasizing there is “no point in prolonging the bloodbath.” The dramatic challenge follows a televised offer by Putin for direct negotiations — the first since early 2022 — and comes after U.S. President Donald Trump urged Zelensky to accept the proposal.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump praised India and Pakistan for showing “wisdom and strength” in ending their recent aggression, calling the ceasefire a “historic and heroic decision.” Trump credited U.S. diplomatic efforts for facilitating the peace talks and pledged to increase trade with both nations. He also proposed working toward a “thousand-year” solution on Kashmir—remarks India swiftly rejected, citing the Simla Agreement and reaffirming Kashmir as a bilateral issue. The comments sparked debate over U.S. involvement in one of South Asia’s most sensitive geopolitical disputes.

In a dramatic turn of events, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif publicly thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for brokering a ceasefire with India—calling it a "new beginning" for peace in South Asia. But while Sharif hails U.S. mediation, reports suggest Pakistan’s military may not be fully aligned, with alleged ceasefire violations raising eyebrows.
Did Pakistan truly commit to peace—or was it forced into compliance under global pressure? And is the military defying Sharif’s orders? Watch as we break down the diplomacy, the power plays, and the potential fallout.

In a shocking turn of events, reports indicate that Turkey has supplied Pakistan with advanced AsisGuard drones, which were reportedly used in attacks along the Indian border. These drone strikes mark a new chapter in the escalating India-Pakistan conflict. As tensions flare, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s support for Pakistan raises significant geopolitical questions. With India on high alert and military responses intensifying, the situation on the ground grows ever more precarious. Watch as this military technology shift and international involvement could potentially reshape the dynamics of South Asia’s most volatile region.

On May 8, India neutralised Pakistan’s massive wave of drone and combat vehicle raids targeting key IAF bases from Jammu to Jaisalmer. The attacks came in waves but were completely neutralised by India’s vigilant air defence systems, including Pechora and SAMAR units. No damage occurred to any installations or personnel. This marks a decisive failure of Pakistan’s attempted escalation.
