US Vice President JD Vance recently reached out to PM Modi amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan post the Pahalgam terror attack. The conversation centered around Pakistan's desire for an acceptable offer, but notably, nuclear options weren't discussed. PM Modi listened to the US proposal without providing a specific response.

PM Modi has emphasised India's commitment to national security, stating that the country's armed forces will give a befitting reply to attempts to ruin India's peace.

"When US Vice President JD Vance called up PM Modi, there was no mention of the word nuclear with regard to Pakistan. The message they had was that Pakistan wanted an offer which was acceptable to them. PM Modi heard out the US pitch but did not answer specifically. The message given by the Prime Minister to Vice President JD Vance was that if Pakistan does any action, there will be a response, and I don't need to give an offer of an off-ramp," according to the sources.
