Why US jumped into the India-Pakistan standoff despite VP Vance's remarks?

U.S.-based foreign policy expert Michael Kugelman stated that the United States intervened in the recent India-Pakistan crisis despite Vice President JD Vance’s earlier remarks that the tensions were "none of their business." Kugelman explained that the severity of the military strikes prompted the U.S. to step in, with particular concern over the possibility of a nuclear escalation. He highlighted that India reportedly targeted an airbase in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, located near nuclear sites, which likely alarmed U.S. officials. Additionally, Pakistan`s internal signaling, including plans for key security meetings, may have suggested preparations for nuclear contingencies. Kugelman emphasized that the nuclear risk was likely the major reason behind the U.S. decision to intervene diplomatically in the situation.
