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 Indiaâs targeting of a strategic air base near nuclear sites in Rawalpindi.
These developments prompted a rare shift from passive observation to active diplomatic pressure.

President Trump has launched a blistering attack on The Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch, and NewsCorp after the paper reported he drew a Nude woman on an Epstein birthday card. Accused of signing it with âmay every day be another wonderful secret,â the card was labeled âfake newsâ by Trump on Truth Social. He vowed to sue the Journal, Murdoch, and their affiliates, branding the story âdisgusting and filthy.â Trump claims the letter and drawing never existed, and criticizes their reliance on dubious sources.
Vice President JD Vance backed him, calling the report âcomplete and utter bullshitâ and challenging the paper to produce the alleged card. Trumpâs post calls this another example of the âFake Newsâ media targeting him unfairly. He argues that if any real evidence existed, it would have surfaced years ago â not conveniently after his three election wins.

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk.
The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trumpâs rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation.
Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

India has officially declined the U.S. offer to purchase F-35 fighter jets, citing strategic constraints and Trumpâs new 25% tariffs on Indian goods. Instead, Russiaâs Su-57 has emerged as the top contender, with Moscow offering co-production and Make-in-India support. India's Air Force modernization push comes amid rising threats from China and Pakistanâs growing fighter fleets. The F-35's inability to integrate with non-NATO weapons and its $100M+ price tag made it less viable for India. The shift signals New Delhi's pivot in defense policy amid strained U.S.-India trade ties.

Russia and China have launched joint naval drills near Japan in a direct response to former President Trumpâs deployment of U.S. nuclear submarines. The âJoint Sea-2025â exercise features advanced anti-submarine warfare, air defense, and missile drills. Four Chinese warships, including guided-missile destroyers, are participating alongside Russian vessels. The display of force comes amid rising U.S.-China tensions and growing alignment between Moscow and Beijing. As Trump boasts of U.S. military strength, his move may have triggered an even bolder alliance challenging American dominance in the Pacific.

Cambodia is set to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, crediting his pivotal role in negotiating a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand after a deadly five-day border conflict. Cambodiaâs Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol hailed Trumpâs âgreat efforts for peace,â saying his intervention â including threats to pull out of trade talks â forced both Southeast Asian nations to come to the negotiating table.
The ceasefire, brokered in Malaysia, ended the regionâs worst violence in over a decade, which left at least 43 people dead and displaced over 300,000. Trump said the war âwould have turned nasty,â but was halted by leveraging trade diplomacy. This marks Trumpâs third recent Nobel recommendation, following nominations by Israel and Pakistan for mediating other global crises. The Cambodian leader also praised Trump for reducing tariffs on Cambodian exports, sparing the nationâs garment and footwear sector from economic collapse.

Pakistan is reeling from an unforgiving monsoon season that has claimed over 200 lives and left more than 560 injured, including 182 children. Punjab has borne the brunt with 123 deaths, followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with 40, Sindh with 21, and others scattered across Balochistan, Islamabad, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The deaths resulted from collapsing homes, flash floods, lightning, landslides, and electrocution. Rawalpindi was engulfed in chaos as flash floods submerged entire neighborhoods. Faisalabad also suffered heavy damage with 11 deaths in just 2 days. Infrastructure has crumbled â roads washed away in Chakwal, power supplies snapped, and communication lines destroyed. The UN warns of possible glacier lake outburst floods in the north. As the crisis unfolds, itâs a grim reminder of Pakistanâs growing climate vulnerability, just as in 2022 when floods killed over 1,700 and caused $40 billion in damage.
