Introduction
The Pahalgam terror attack has triggered strong international condemnation, with major global powers expressing solidarity with India. Among the first to extend support, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard assured Prime Minister Narendra Modi of America’s full backing in the aftermath of the attack that left 26 civilians dead. As investigations reveal Pakistan’s cross-border linkages, India’s diplomatic and security measures are intensifying rapidly.
US Intelligence Chief Assures Support After Pahalgam Terror Attack
In a powerful message of solidarity, Tulsi Gabbard wrote to PM Modi, stating that the United States stands firmly with India. Calling the Pahalgam terror attack a “horrific Islamist terrorist assault,” Gabbard emphasized that Washington would support New Delhi in hunting down those responsible.
She made it clear:
“We stand in solidarity with India in the wake of the horrific Islamist terrorist attack, targeting and killing 26 Hindus in Pahalgam. My prayers and deepest sympathies are with those who lost a loved one, PM @narendramodi, and with all the people of India. We are with you and support you as you hunt down those responsible for this heinous attack..”
Religious Targeting and Pakistan’s Role Exposed
Details emerging from the Pahalgam terror attack investigation show a clear pattern of religiously motivated killings. Terrorists targeted civilians after asking them to prove their religious identity. Groups operating from Pakistan-occupied territories, particularly The Resistance Front—an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba—have claimed responsibility.
Indian intelligence agencies confirmed that operational links to the terrorists can be traced back to Pakistan-based handlers, prompting swift diplomatic action from New Delhi.
India’s Strong Diplomatic and Security Response
Reacting to the terror strike, India’s Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) announced tough measures against Pakistan:
- Suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960
- Closure of the Attari-Wagah land border crossing
- Expulsion of Pakistani military officials from India
- Cancellation of SAARC visa exemptions for Pakistani nationals
- Staff reductions at both High Commissions to just 30 members each
PM Modi also vowed that India would hunt terrorists “to the ends of the earth” and punish their sponsors “beyond their imagination.”

With world leaders backing PM Modi’s firm response and India taking unprecedented diplomatic steps, the message to Islamabad is clear: support for terrorism will carry real and painful consequences.
