Despite India’s widespread diplomatic outreach after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, no global leader has directly blamed Pakistan. While leaders from the US, Russia, and other major powers condemned the attack and expressed sympathy for India, none used the word “Pakistan” explicitly in criticism—except US Vice President J.D. Vance, who spoke conditionally. India’s efforts to isolate Pakistan diplomatically have seen limited success, with many nations urging de-escalation instead of naming Islamabad.
