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 claimed responsibility for the deadly Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. This move has been welcomed by India as a significant step in counter-terrorism cooperation, while Pakistan's government, after initial resistance, has publicly stated it has 'no objection' to the US designation, though it denies TRF's links to LeT. The designation is expected to increase diplomatic pressure on Pakistan to act against terror groups operating from its soil. China has called for enhanced regional counter-terrorism cooperation in response to the development. The move also raises concerns that Pakistan may attempt to rebrand or rename its terror proxies to evade international scrutiny.
