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 has been welcomed by India and other global actors as a significant step in countering cross-border terrorism, while Pakistan's leadership has shifted its stance, now expressing 'no objection' to the US designation but denying direct LeT links. The designation increases diplomatic pressure on Pakistan to act against terror groups operating from its soil, and has prompted concerns about potential rebranding of such groups to evade sanctions. The development highlights evolving international cooperation against terrorism and the ongoing challenges posed by proxy groups in the region. The situation underscores the need for sustained global vigilance and collaboration to address the threat of state-supported terrorism.
