The United States has officially designated The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), as a Foreign Terrorist Organization following its claim of responsibility for the deadly Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. This move marks a significant escalation in US-India counterterrorism cooperation and puts diplomatic pressure on Pakistan, which has shifted its stance from denial to acceptance of the US designation, while still denying TRF's links to LeT. India has welcomed the US action, viewing it as a diplomatic win and a blow to Pakistan's ongoing support for cross-border terrorism. The designation has also prompted discussions about Pakistan potentially rebranding its terror proxies and has drawn calls for stronger regional counterterrorism cooperation from China. The development highlights the evolving tactics of terror groups in Kashmir and the international community's increasing resolve to address state-sponsored terrorism.
