Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a startling revelation in his new book, "Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love." Pompeo claimed that India and Pakistan were close to nuclear war in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack in 2019. Pompeo wrote in his book that he learned of the gravity of the situation and was awakened at night to defuse the tensions. India launched an airstrike inside Pakistan to destroy terror camps on February 26, 2019, after 40 CRPF jawans were killed in a terrorist attack carried out by Jaish-e-Mohammed.
