Washington: US intelligence agencies told their lawmakers on Wednesday that they expect tensions between India-Pakistan and India-China to increase and there is a possibility of conflict. He also said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is more likely than ever to respond to Pakistani provocations with military force. The assessment is part of the US intelligence agencies’ annual threat assessment, presented to the US Congress by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The report said that while India and China are engaged in bilateral border talks and resolving issues, their relations remain strained in the wake of the Galwan Valley conflict in 2020, the most serious in decades.

Past standoffs have demonstrated that persistent low-level conflict along the Line of Actual Control has the potential to rapidly escalate.
