In recent years, Pakistan has cultivated many friends over Islamism and shared geopolitical goals. However, none of them is likely to join it wholeheartedly in any conflict with India in the wake of the Pahalgam attack.

The United States has called on both India and Pakistan to resolve their differences peacefully following the deadly April 22 attack in Pahalgam. A State Department spokesperson said the US is monitoring the situation closely and remains in contact with both countries at several levels.

India has yet to present clear evidence of who conducted the attack on April 22nd that killed 26 mostly Hindu men in Pahalgam, a popular tourist spot in the Muslim-majority region. But local police are searching for two Pakistani suspects and one Indian.
