Pakistan’s foreign minister said Saturday his country would consider de-escalation if India stopped further attacks. This came after India said it was committed to non-escalation if Pakistan reciprocated.
The countries traded strikes on Saturday, the latest escalation in a conflict triggered by a massacre last month that India blames on Pakistan.
Ishaq Dar, the Pakistani foreign minister, still warned that if India launched any strikes, “our response will follow.”
Dar told Pakistan’s Geo News that he also conveyed this message to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio when he contacted him after speaking to New Delhi two hours ago.
He said: “We responded because our patience had reached its limit. If they stop here, we will also consider stopping."
