Tensions between India and Pakistan are fueling concerns about the potential for conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations.

"We're not going to get involved in the middle of a war that's fundamentally none of our business," the vice president said.

India and Pakistan engaged in the most intense fighting in decades with four days of escalating conflict that included fighter jets, missiles and drones packed with explosives. It ended almost as abruptly as it began.

When U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted, on May 10, that India and Pakistan had agreed to a cease-fire, the world breathed a sigh of relief. The two nuclear-armed neighbors had teetered perilously close to all-out war as they fired missiles and drone strikes at each other’s military installations and religious sites over the previous three days.
