U.S. President Donald Trump has shared on social media a video clip of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s speech at the United Nations, where he thanked the American leader’s “timely intervention” in halting Operation Sindoor.

In the 87-second clip shared by Mr. Trump on Truth Social on Friday (September 25, 2026), Mr. Sharif refers to Operation Sindoor launched by India last May to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack as “external aggression” and credits Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir for his “courageous leadership”.

Mr. Sharif thanked Mr. Trump’s “resolute and visionary leadership” and “timely intervention” in saving millions of lives in South Asia. Mr. Trump shared the video clip of Mr. Sharif’s speech without any comments.

The U.S. president, in his speech at the UN on Tuesday, had claimed that he helped settle eight wars, including the conflict between Pakistan and India.

According to Mr. Trump, Shehbaz Sharif said that the U.S. president was responsible for saving 30 million lives in South Asia. Mr. Trump also said that almost all the countries he mentioned had sent him letters thanking him for his role.

India had launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 last year, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that had killed 26 civilians.

New Delhi has rejected Mr. Trump’s claims and asserted that Operation Sindoor was paused following a request from Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations to his counterpart in the Indian Army.

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who toured Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh’s Drass on Saturday (July 25, 2026), said the intentions of the enemies have not changed, and the proxy war remains a security challenge in the region.

Without naming Pakistan, Mr. Singh, while speaking at Shaurya Bhoj in Drass, said, “As we celebrate the Kargil War victory, we have to remind ourselves of the challenges. The intention of our enemy remains the same. Proxy war is still used as a tactic. Our Army is ready to foil these nefarious designs,” said Mr. Singh.  

The Defence Minister arrived in Srinagar on Saturday (July 25, 2026) morning on a two-day tour of the region. He was received by J&K Lieutenant-Governor Manoj Sinha. Officials said they discussed the current security situation in J&K, especially in the wake of the Anantnag attack that left one policeman dead three days ago.

Later, Mr. Singh visited the war memorial at Ladakh’s Drass on the eve of the 27th Kargil Vijay Diwas. He paid tributes to the soldiers who laid down their lives in the line of duty in the 1999 Kargil War against Pakistan, as he attended the ‘Shaurya Sandhya’.

“It’s these sacrifices that make people of India feel safe. When oxygen levels dropped in 1999, the guns of our soldiers did not fall silent till the Tricolour was unfurled as a mark of victory. We are proud of the valiant soldiers and their degree of courage,” said Mr. Singh. 

He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had ensured that the morale of soldiers remains high. “We are investing in modernisation of equipment and training. We are hopeful to see the Indian Army among the leading forces in the world,” he said..  

Mr. Singh said the Indian armed forces were fully prepared to face every challenge posed by the country’s adversaries. “India’s military remains vigilant, battle-ready, and capable of protecting the nation’s sovereignty,” he said.

He said no one dares cast an evil eye on India as long as the patriotism and determination of the country’s soldiers remain unshaken, adding that their sacrifices ensure every Indian can pursue dreams without fear.

Ten families of Kargil War bravehearts were felicitated on the occasion. Commemorative events were held at ‘Yudh Sansmaran’ at Lamochen View Point, where the Kargil War veterans and families of fallen soldiers remembered the sacrifices made during Operation Vijay. A documentary and special presentations highlighting the valour of 40 war heroes were screened during the event.

Mr. Singh will be the chief guest at the national homage ceremony on July 26. He is expected to lay a wreath at the war memorial, interact with Veer Naris and Veer Maas, inaugurate a virtual walkthrough portal, and flag off the Shaurya Vijay Yatra motorcycle rally.

U.S. President Donald Trump repeated twice in a single day the claim that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan last year.

“In one year, I’ve ended eight raging wars, such as (the war between) Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Mr. Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday (February 5, 2026).

Later, in a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump reiterated the claim that he stopped a nuclear war from breaking out between India and Pakistan.

“The United States is the most powerful Country in the World. I completely rebuilt its Military in my First Term, including new and many refurbished nuclear weapons. I also added Space Force and now, continue to rebuild our Military at levels never seen before. We are even adding Battleships, which are 100 times more powerful than the ones that roamed the Seas during World War II — The Iowa, Missouri, Alabama, and others. I have stopped Nuclear Wars from breaking out across the World between Pakistan and India, Iran and Israel, and Russia and Ukraine,” Mr. Trump posted.

The U.S. President has claimed over 90 times that he stopped the conflict between India and Pakistan. He has been making the assertion repeatedly, on various platforms in the U.S. and around the world, since May 10 last year, when he announced on social media that India and Pakistan agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington.

India has consistently denied any third-party intervention.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday (January 21, 2026) repeated his claim that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan, as he did with so many other wars.

In a special address in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, Mr. Trump also said the U.S. needs Greenland, which he said was not land but a massive piece of ice, for strategic reasons as it lies between the U.S., China and Russia, not for a massive amount of rare earth minerals buried under ice.

He began his speech by greeting “so many friends” present and “a few enemies”, and lashed out heavily at Europe, NATO, proponents of clean energy and past U.S. presidents, including “sleepy” Joe Biden.

Earlier, Mr. Trump has claimed credit for stopping the India-Pakistan conflict for more that 80 times since May 10 last year, when he announced on social media that the two neighbours had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after talks mediated by Washington.

India has consistently denied any third-party intervention.

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 last year, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.

India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.

India has been consistently maintaining that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two sides.

U.S. President Donald Trump has again credited himself for ending the conflict between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan, as he asserted that Norway controls the Nobel Peace Prize, an honour he claims he deserves for ending eight wars and saving millions of lives.

He also said that while he may not care about the prize, he does care about saving lives.

“I don’t care about the Nobel Prize… A very fine woman felt that I deserved it and really wanted me to have the Nobel Prize. And I appreciate that. If anybody thinks that Norway doesn’t control the Nobel Prize, they’re just kidding. They have a board, but it’s controlled by Norway, and I don’t care what Norway says,” Mr. Trump told reporters after attending a college football championship game in Miami on Monday (January 19, 2026).

Last week, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado presented her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Mr. Trump at the White House, which he described as a “wonderful gesture of mutual respect”.

The President also said that he has “saved tens of millions of lives”.

“If you look at India, Pakistan…two nuclear powers. You look at so many of the countries that were in a 30, in some cases a 35-year-war, I got it done. We stopped eight wars, and maybe we’ll be stopping the ninth very soon,” he said.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for stopping the India-Pakistan conflict, a claim he has now made about 80 times since May 10 last year, when he announced on social media that the two nations had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after talks mediated by Washington.

India has consistently denied any third-party intervention.

Mr. Trump has also said that no one in history is more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than him, and has criticised former U.S. President Barack Obama for receiving the award in 2009 shortly after assuming office, even though he “didn’t do anything”.

The President is scheduled to deliver a special address at the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos on Wednesday (January 21), where he will also meet foreign leaders and business executives.

On Thursday (January 22), on the margins of the World Economic Forum, Mr. Trump will participate in the “Board of Peace Charter announcement”, where nations would be invited to sign the charter, joining the body aimed at Gaza’s redevelopment under his comprehensive plan to end the conflict.

Mr. Trump has invited several global leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to join the Board of Peace, seen as a rival to the United Nations, that will work towards bringing lasting peace to Gaza and embark on a “bold new approach” to resolve “global conflict”.

Responding to a question that French President Emmanuel Macron has declined to join his Board of Peace, Mr. Trump said, “Well, nobody wants him because he’s going to be out of office very soon. So you know, that’s all right… I’ll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes, and he’ll join. But he doesn’t have to join if he said that. You’re probably giving it to me a little bit differently, but if he actually did say that… he’s going to be out of the office in a few months.”

Mr. Trump said he has also invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to join the Board.

U.S. President Donald Trump has again claimed that he stopped the fighting between India and Pakistan and saved millions of lives, describing it as an “honour”.

Addressing an event in Florida on Friday (January 16, 2026), Mr. Trump claimed the U.S. had brokered multiple peace deals in less than a year and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has credited him with saving at least 10 million lives by stopping the Indo-Pak conflict.

“In less than a year, we made eight peace deals and ended the war in Gaza. We have peace in the Middle East. Nobody thought that was going to be possible,” he said.

Mr. Trump also asserted that Washington helped defuse tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, India and Pakistan.

“We stopped India and Pakistan from fighting, two nuclear nations… The Pakistani Prime Minister said ‘Donald Trump saved at least 10 million people’. And it was amazing, and it’s an honour,” he said.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly asserted that he played a role in halting tensions between India and Pakistan last year.

He has made the claim around 80 times since May 10 last year, when he announced on social media that the two countries had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks allegedly mediated by Washington.

India has consistently rejected any third-party intervention in its dealings with Pakistan.

Mr\. Trump has also said on several occasions that Sharif, who visited the White House last year, credited him with saving millions of lives by stopping the conflict between India and Pakistan.
