U.S. President Donald Trump has once again stated that he played a central role in preventing a major conflict between India and Pakistan from turning into a nuclear war.
Speaking at a reception for Republican lawmakers at the White House on July 22, 2025, Trump claimed that the situation between the two countries had escalated dangerously, with five aircraft reportedly brought down during the hostilities.
According to Trump, the conflict was on the verge of spiraling out of control, given that both India and Pakistan are nuclear-armed nations.
He asserted that if the situation had continued unchecked, it could have led to consequences beyond the region.
The details of Trump’s claims have not been confirmed by officials from India or Pakistan.
However, tensions between the two neighboring countries had recently flared, with both sides exchanging military actions along the border.
While news reports mentioned brief skirmishes, neither government officially confirmed the extent of the conflict or the reported downing of aircraft.
Trump has made similar statements in the past, taking credit for de-escalating tensions between the two South Asian nations.
He has frequently presented himself as a key player in international peace efforts, especially involving countries with strained diplomatic relations.
The remarks come at a time when foreign policy remains a central topic ahead of the upcoming U.S. presidential elections.
Trump’s statements are likely to draw attention in South Asia, where both India and Pakistan have long-standing disputes, particularly over the Kashmir region.
So far, neither New Delhi nor Islamabad has issued any direct response to Trump’s recent comments.
