US President Donald Trump once again, like a 100th time, claimed that he had stopped military conflict between India and Pakistan earlier this yearIn a video going viral, Trump was heard ranting on a hot mic to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and then said that he solved eight wars, including India and Pakistan.

" Do I get credit for it? No, they gave them, I did eight of them. India. How about India and Pakistan? And then, so I did eight of them and then I'll tell you the rest of it," Trump said.

This isn’t the first time Trump has made such a claim.Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a "full and immediate" ceasefire after a "long night" of talks mediated by Washington, he repeated more than 60 times that he "helped settle" the tensions between the two neighbours.However, 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 of the two militaries.Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it clear in Parliament that no leader of any country asked India to stop Operation Sindoor.Tensions had sharply escalated between India and Pakistan following a deadly terror attack on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district. The strike, carried out by Pakistan-backed terrorists in Pahalgam, killed 26 people.India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.
