CNN’s Nick Robertson Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Ceasefire Pressure
Nick Robertson, International Diplomatic Editor at CNN, has revealed critical behind-the-scenes developments in the Pakistan-India ceasefire negotiations. Speaking during a TV interview, he stated that Pakistani missile attacks played a key role in forcing India to agree to an immediate ceasefire.
💥 Pakistan’s Missile Barrage Changed the Equation
Robertson cited a source present in the negotiation room, who confirmed that Pakistan’s massive missile and rocket barrage overwhelmed Indian defenses. These strikes targeted:
- Indian military installations
- Weapons depots
- Airbases
- Line of Control (LoC) positions in Kashmir
“From Pakistan’s perspective, these strikes put India on the defensive,” said Robertson.
📞 Diplomatic Outreach After Strikes
According to Robertson’s source, India reached out desperately to multiple countries for help, including:
- United States (via Secretary of State Marco Rubio)
- Saudi Arabia
- Turkey
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio played a major role in mediating the ceasefire, according to the report.
🚨 India’s Water Blockade Remains a Major Concern
Robertson noted that Pakistan’s next major concern is water security. He said that India has allegedly blocked water flow from three critical rivers originating in Kashmir—rivers that are essential for Pakistan’s agriculture and survival.
“This is now the key issue for Pakistan moving forward,” Robertson emphasized.
🕊️ Ceasefire May Not End the Tensions
When asked about future peace prospects, Robertson’s source stated:
“Look, there is a ceasefire. Everything will be fine from there (from India).”
However, with water disputes unresolved and high regional tension, many analysts believe long-term peace will require deeper negotiation.
