"Well, sure, I'm worried about any time you see a hot spot breaking out, especially between two nuclear powers. We've obviously been in close contact with our friends in India and Pakistan.

US Hopes India’s Response to Pahalgam Attack Will Not Lead to Broader Conflict - Vance
US Vice President JD Vance has said that he is concerned about the recent escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan, expressing hope that India’s possible response to a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir will not lead to a broader regional conflict.
