Saudi Arabia, Iran, and others are playing a key albeit unfamiliar role in trying to cool regional tensions, filling a vacuum vacated by the U.S.

Pakistan said on Tuesday that it remains committed to the truce with India, agreed after four days of intense fighting last week, but vowed to respond to any future aggression by New Delhi with full resolve.

Tensions between Islamabad and New Dehli escalate after 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed in Kashmir last month.

The Indian military said early Wednesday it had launched strikes against Pakistan in retaliation for last month’s militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.

India on Saturday accused Pakistan of violating a ceasefire agreement within hours of it taking effect, reporting gunfire and drone activity along the LoC. On May 11, the Armed Forces held a joint press conference to give out details of Operation Sindoor and its aftermath.
