Missiles Over Kashmir: A Ceasefire, But Peace Remains Elusive

India and Pakistan exchanged missiles in early June 2025, prompting a US-brokered ceasefire. The incident, centered around the disputed territory of Kashmir, underscores the long-standing tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations. Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar denied that the ceasefire was forced by the US, stating, "The world community was asking both the countries to exercise restraint." However, the video also highlights the human cost of the conflict, showing images of civilian casualties. The rapid escalation and de-escalation raise questions about the fragility of peace in the region and the underlying geopolitical factors at play. The swift US intervention, announced by President Trump on social media, was welcomed by Islamabad but criticized by opposition parties in New Delhi, highlighting the complexities of the situation. The video serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for diplomatic solutions in resolving the Kashmir dispute and preventing further escalations between these nuclear rivals.
