Pakistan's Ambassador to the U.S., Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, expressed concerns about a potential conflict with India, emphasizing that Pakistan does not want to fight a larger country like India. The statement followed the deadly Pahalgam attack, which India attributed to Pakistan-backed terrorists. Sheikh also sought President Trump’s intervention to mediate, stressing that an Indian move on water rights could escalate to war. India has granted operational freedom to its military in response to cross-border attacks, and tensions continue to rise between the two nations.
