UPDATED 1:48 PM EDT --- Saudi Diplomacy FAILS to Quell India-Pakistan Fight

At about 8:00 AM EDT, CNN reported Pakistan is holding off on responding to India’s attack to allow its allies time for diplomacy, a senior Pakistani government source told CNN, as the US, Saudi Arabia, and others work to de-escalate tensions. “Pakistan is giving space for diplomacy,” the source said, denying that Pakistan had struck India.

The Hal Turner Radio Show can now confirm Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi Foreign Minister, left Pakistan after a few hours of talks with the chairman of the ruling party, trying to de-escalate tensions.  Saudi efforts failed. 

Notably, the Pakistani Defense Minister issued a statement while al-Jubeir was still airborne, asserting that "Pakistan would resist external pressure. Pakistan’s response to India is now imminent."

At abut 11:50 EDT today, Friday, May 9, a Pakistani Spokesperson told assembled media "India and Pakistan are at war."

At 12:27 PM EDT this afternoon, Intelligence Circuits relayed the following information:

"Seems like the final chance for de-escalation has just fallen apart. Pakistan’s response to India’s missile and drone attacks now appears to be just around the corner — with certain locations reportedly picked for a major, deep strike inside Indian territory."

At 1:08 PM EDT today, media outlets began reporting "Explosions in the area of Srinagar Airport."   

Video shows that air raid sirens were blaring at that time, and as protocol requires, electric power was cut to darken potential targets of inbound drones.
