U.S. President Donald Trump has once again asserted that he prevented a major war between India and Pakistan, expressing frustration that his claimed peacemaking efforts have not earned him a Nobel Peace Prize.

Posting on his platform Truth Social, Trump referenced the post-Pahalgam tensions in April and India’s Operation Sindoor, saying he was instrumental in halting retaliatory strikes and de-escalating the nuclear standoff between the two South Asian powers.

“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war between India and Pakistan… but the people know,” Trump wrote, adding he also played key roles in peace efforts between Congo-Rwanda, Serbia-Kosovo, and through the Abraham Accords in the Middle East.

Indian officials, however, have categorically denied any U.S. mediation. Government sources maintain that the ceasefire was brokered through direct military channels. According to them, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations reached out to his Indian counterpart on May 10 after intense Indian strikes, including one on Pakistan’s Nur Khan airbase.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly clarified in a recent phone call with Trump that no such mediation took place, nor were trade deals discussed, contradicting Trump’s version of the call.

Nonetheless, Trump doubled down at a recent press conference, saying, “I stopped a war between two nuclear nations — India and Pakistan. I didn’t get a single news story, but that’s okay.”

Surprisingly, Pakistani officials are said to be preparing to nominate Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “pivotal leadership” during the crisis. His recent White House lunch with Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has also sparked speculation about shifting regional diplomacy.
