On Thursday (July 17), the United States described the Resistance Queue (TRF) as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) and a specially designated global terrorist (SDGT), with 26 civilians killed their role in the Pahalgam massacre in Kashmir.
He announced the designation, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio described the TRF as the “front and proxy” of Pakistan based in Lashkar-E-Taiba (years), which is already mentioned by the UN and the United States as a terrorist group.
“These actions show Trump’s commitment to protect our interests of national security, face terrorism and promote President Trump’s challenge to justice to attack Pahalgam,” Rubio said in a statement.
Massacr Pahalgam triggers global outrage
The terrorist attack of Pahalgam was shocked by the region. The survivors told the media that armed militants focused on Hindu civilians and allegedly separated women and children before ordering male victims to present a Muslim statement of faith. Most of the 26 victims were Hindi.
The TRF declared responsibility for the massacre shortly after, even though the group was previously known, the “smoke screen” created by being operated under another name and masking his Pakistani support.
India hits back, Pakistan denies a role
In response to the killing of Pahalgam, India began the Sindoor Operation, focused on blows to terrorist networks through the control line and Pakistani territory. While Islamabad condemned violence, he denied any connection with the attack or to the TRF operations.
The American designation puts further pressure on Pakistan to intervene against the terrorist representatives of the soil. It also allows us to block the TRF assets and disable material support to the group.
This announcement is a significant diplomatic step by Trump administration, which has repeatedly signaled narrower security links with India in sharing concerns about regional terrorism and cross -border militance.
