Washington( The COW News Digital)Former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that he played a pivotal role in preventing a nuclear war between Pakistan and India, revealing that seven fighter jets were destroyed during a tense standoff.
Speaking to journalists at the White House, Trump described the situation as “highly dangerous,” stating that without U.S. intervention, the conflict could have escalated into a full-scale nuclear confrontation. “I stepped in and said very clearly: if you continue to fight, there will be no trade deals,” he said, claiming that his diplomatic pressure helped halt the crisis.
Trump emphasized his role in global peacekeeping, stating with pride that he had prevented seven major wars worldwide, including the potential Pakistan-India nuclear conflict. According to him, his actions averted catastrophic consequences and maintained regional stability in South Asia.
During the press briefing, Trump also addressed the ongoing Gaza crisis. Commenting on the deadly Israeli airstrike on a hospital that killed five journalists, he admitted that he was unaware of the specific incident but stressed that hostilities in Gaza should cease immediately. “I am not happy about this. We should move towards peace, not violence,” he said.
The former president also expressed concern over incidents worldwide where the American flag is being burned under the guise of free speech, stating that such acts should be stopped.
Additionally, Trump touched upon U.S. operations in Iran, claiming that “every missile hit its target” during military operations and asserting that his policies successfully prevented Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
His remarks come amid heightened global tensions, with South Asia and the Middle East remaining focal points of international concern. Analysts note that while Trump’s statements highlight his claimed influence on global conflict prevention, they also underscore the ongoing fragility of diplomatic relations in high-risk regions.
Trump’s comments on Pakistan-India and Gaza underline the complex challenges facing international leaders, as well as the delicate balance between diplomacy, military preparedness, and humanitarian considerations. While some praised his interventionist approach, critics questioned the accuracy and timing of his claims, highlighting the need for transparent historical records of such crises.
As international observers assess his statements, the potential lessons from these near-conflicts emphasize the critical importance of negotiation and preventive diplomacy in averting large-scale human and geopolitical disasters.
