{“title”:”Former Official Urges US to Label Pakistan Terror Sponsor”,”content”:”Former Pentagon official Michael Rubin said the United States should designate Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism, arguing there is \’no strategic logic\’ in Washington embracing Islamabad. He also criticized the June White House visit by Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, saying Munir should be arrested rather than honored if he enters the United States.\n\nRubin argued the US ought to rescind Pakistan\’s special status and treat the country as a sponsor of terrorism. He called for a firmer response to Pakistani actions he views as hostile or complicit in militant activity.\n\nHe also urged the United States to apologize to India for recent diplomatic and trade measures, including the imposition of a 50 percent tariff on some Indian imports in August that was tied to India\’s purchase of Russian oil. Rubin acknowledged that President Donald Trump dislikes apologizing, but said US and allied interests outweigh any single leader\’s ego.\n\nThe remarks came amid visible trade and diplomatic shifts: the US has applied higher tariffs to Indian goods while imposing lower rates on Pakistan, and has pursued agreements with Islamabad on mineral mining and oil exploration. Pakistan reportedly welcomed Trump\’s diplomacy and even nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize.\n\nRubin\’s comments referenced recent military tensions in the region. In May, India launched Operation Sindoor, striking nine camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir in retaliation for a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22 that killed 26 people. After the strikes, both countries agreed to halt full-scale military action when the Pakistani director general of military operations called his Indian counterpart to arrange a cessation of hostilities.\n\nThis account is based on a syndicated news feed and reflects the original reporting.”}
