Islamabad, Pakistan – Following the April 22 shooting that left 26 dead in Kashmir, tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated, with both nations implementing punitive measures against each other, including India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and Pakistan’s threat to abandon the Simla Agreement. Diplomatic efforts are underway, with U.S. officials urging de-escalation, while experts like Moeed Yusuf highlight the lack of effective crisis management mechanisms. Although military action remains a possibility, the window for immediate confrontation may have passed.
