JD Vance’s Warning: How a US Tip Averted a Major Pakistani Attack on India

Tensions between India and Pakistan reached a fever pitch earlier this year, but a little-known event played a crucial role in preventing a potential catastrophe. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar revealed in the Lok Sabha that US Vice President JD Vance had delivered a critical warning to Prime Minister Modi regarding an impending Pakistani attack scheduled for May 9th.

This timely intelligence allowed Indian forces to proactively thwart the attack. The subsequent retaliatory operation, known as Operation Sindoor, targeted Pakistani terror infrastructure, a direct response to a prior terror attack in Pahalgam. The details surrounding Operation Sindoor remain largely classified, highlighting the sensitive nature of India’s counter-terrorism efforts and its international collaborations.

Jaishankar’s statement underscores the significant role of international cooperation in preventing major conflicts and maintaining regional stability. The successful preemptive action prevented what could have been a devastating assault on India, showcasing the effectiveness of timely intelligence and swift response strategies.
