‘Hopefully it ends quickly’: Rubio says that monitoring India-Pakistan situation after Operation Sindoor

After India’s Operation Sindoor in Pakistan, the US state of Marco Rubio said that he is closely monitoring the unfollowed situation between nuclear-skilled countries, hoping for a rapid de-ecstation and confirming Washington’s commitment to promote peace in the region.Posting on the social media platform X, Rubio said, “I am monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan. I will compel the first @Potus comments today that it ends quickly with expectation and will continue to engage both Indian and Pakistani leadership for a peaceful resolution.”Rubio’s remarks launched a target military operation against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir following the launch of Operation Sindor in India. The action was in vengeance for terrorist attacks in Pahgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April, killing 26 civilians – including a Nepali National. According to a statement by the Indian Embassy in Washington, “India’s actions have been focused and accurate. They were measured, designed to be responsible and non-conservative in nature. Any Pakistani citizen, economic or military goals have been killed. Only known terrorist camps were targeted.” The embassy also confirmed that NSA Ajit Doval had informed Rubio on the operation shortly after the strike.The US has urged both sides to restraint. Responding to the situation, US President Donald Trump told reporters, “It’s a matter of shame. We have heard about it because we were walking in the doors of the oval. Just heard about it … I hope it will end very soon.” He said that tension between the two countries has remained for “many, many decades … centuries, actually”.Rubio had earlier spoken to both Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. In that call, Rubio urged the two countries to reproduce “D-Suscule stress, re-establish direct communication and maintain peace and security in South Asia, according to a statement by his office.The US has also emphasized the importance of justifying terrorists. His office said, “The secretary spoke about the need to condemn the terrorist attack on 22 April … He encouraged Pakistan to work with India.”Meanwhile, India continues to abbreviate international stakeholders on its anti-terrorism functions.
