Will India-Pakistan Tensions Over Kashmir Escalate to War?

Tensions between India and Pakistan have flared again after a deadly attack in Kashmir on April 22, 2025, killing 26 tourists. India blames Pakistan for "cross-border terrorism," suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and closing borders. Pakistan denies involvement, calling India’s moves an “act of war.” Cross-border firing along the Line of Control has intensified for days, raising fears of escalation.

Yet, a full-scale war seems unlikely. Both nuclear-armed nations face domestic pressures—India’s Modi government is under scrutiny to act tough, while Pakistan grapples with economic and political crises. Analysts suggest limited skirmishes or diplomatic posturing are more probable than all-out conflict.
