The government praised Trump for leveraging his “pivotal leadership” in May, when several days of cross-border strikes marked the worst regional fighting between the two nuclear-armed nations since 1971, killing dozens and stoking fears of a wider war. I am not sure what to tell someone that does not realize the difference between allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons versus a more peaceful country. Absolutely they can protect their own country (but not necessarily their own interests). But think about how very, very few countries have nuclear weapons just to protect their own countries. There is a vast chasm between allowing Switzerland to have nuclear weapons versus allowing Iran to have them. So, no they did not ‘possess’ nuclear weapons — yet. And that has been the point every time their facilities and scientists and leaders get attacked — for them NOT to possess them. This is not the first time nor likely the last time this has happened.
For example:
The Indian government on Tuesday disputed U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that the U.S.-mediated ceasefire between India and Pakistan came about in part because he had offered possible trade concessions.
Addressing a weekly news conference, Randhir Jaiswal, the spokesman for India’s foreign ministry, said top leaders in New Delhi and Washington were in touch last week following the Indian military’s intense standoff with Pakistan, but that there was no conversation on trade.
“The issue of trade didn’t come up in any of these discussions,” Jaiswal said, referring to the conversations held between U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his Indian counterpart, S. Jaishankar.
The escalating hostilities between the nuclear-armed rivals threatened regional peace, leading to calls by world leaders to cool down tempers.
Trump said he not only helped mediate the ceasefire, but also offered mediation over the simmering dispute in Kashmir, a Himalayan region that both India and Pakistan claim in entirety but administer in parts. The two nations have fought two wars over Kashmir, which has long been described as the regional nuclear flashpoint.
New Delhi also declined Trump’s offer for mediation on Tuesday.
“We have a longstanding national position that any issues related to the federally controlled union territory of Jammu and Kashmir must be addressed by India and Pakistan bilaterally. There has been no change to the stated policy,” Jaiswal said.
Someone isn't being honest about this situation. What did Trump specifically do to broker a ceasefire between these adversaries again? By the way, this war started during his administration as well. Not sure how you get credit for ending the war which you were not involved with but not the blame for the war starting on your watch??
