Former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo has claimed that he and his colleagues played a critical role in averting a possible nuclear conflict between Pakistan and India back in February 2019.

Second, India and Pakistan should develop a round-the-clock ‘nuclear hotline’ so that we get no repeats of this potentially apocalyptic scenario.
