The US is now in a confused state of mind. On the one hand they are being challenged globally. On the other tis china factor. Having the rest of the world as antagonists does not help them get anywhere. The US Deep State with its trillions worldwide is caught between two factions - one is stubborn I don't give a damn of others and the other faction is concentrated on getting the economic engine going to further their wealth (initially looted from around the world including a substantial amount from India and China). Between these two you will see contradicting stmts galore.
The India angle for the later section of US deep state is required due to various factors and this is forcing the US to keep India on its side. These are all short term not long term for the US since the China factor looms large. But India, is playing the long term game and is asserting its civilizational heritage.
My guess is that Colby is here to smoothen ruffled feathers and extract the recently caught operatives, plus get India to manufacture affordable munitions to replenish dwindling stocks. He may also be asking for India to allow berthing of naval ships and replenishment of necessities.
Received a call from President Trump and had a useful exchange of views on the situation in West Asia. India supports de-escalation and restoration of peace at the earliest. Ensuring that the Strait of Hormuz remains open, secure and accessible is essential for the whole world. We agreed to stay in touch regarding efforts towards peace and stability.

No surprise Congress said that in spite of India’s undoubted military successes in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan’s diplomatic engagement and narrative management has been “markedly superior to that of the Modi government” "Rebuff to ‘self-styled Vishwaguru’, says Congress, on reports of Pakistan mediating in West Asia"
President Donald Trump just spoke with Prime Minister Modi. They discussed the ongoing situation in the Middle East, including the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.

Trump (and his team) don't know what they are doing - in complete chaos - looking for Munir (reported that Trump called him) to save him - India (and whole civilized world) should be very careful..
Trump says he is talking to Iran. Iran says we are NOT talking to anyone and are still bombing Israel. Israel chimed in, saying they do not know any talks happening and we are still bombing Iran. Question, who is Trump talking to?

No my understanding is he is buried in one of the Catacombs under the Whitehouse where during his first term the OM took shelter.
