21/22 June 2025 – Today and Yesterday, both days brought Gov of Pakistan to a complicated cum interesting situation when GoP first on 21 June recommended President Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize and on 22 June GoP had to condemn US action on the order of the same President who showed his Trump Card in the ongoing Israeli war on Iran.
President Trump had said about attack on Iran from USA, that the decision has been taken but the implementation has been kept in waiting for next two weeks. On some media, Trump was also found contradicting any decision taken even in this regard.
The people are enjoying the developments in Pakistan. They say ” GoP should take another lead in the eyes of the President of USA. That Gop should nominate him to Nobel Prize in another category ; ” The world leader who speaks truth always ”
It will certainly be further interesting how GoP deals with this scenario that has been created by its beloved President of US.
Here one thing is clear, US attack on Iran is enough to conclude that Iran has gave very very tough time to aggressive Israel. That is the reason, President Trump had to take this ultimate step in contradiction of his early statements. US attack means paving the way for Israel to strike Iran easily as the later may experience difficult to defend itself after being hit by the most powerful military in the world.
According to the developments, On 21 June 2025, after the most debated and discussed visit of Pakistani Field Marshal to Washington and meeting with President Trump, The Government of Pakistan decided to formally recommend President Donald J. Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis.
The international community bore witness to unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression, which constituted a grave violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, resulting in the tragic loss of innocent lives, including women, children, and the elderly. In exercising its fundamental right to self-defense, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyanum Marsoos—a measured, resolute, and precise military response, carefully executed to re-establish deterrence and defend its territorial integrity while consciously avoiding civilian harm.
At a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond. This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue.
The Government of Pakistan also acknowledges and greatly admires President Trump’s sincere offers to help resolve the longstanding dispute of Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan—an issue that lies at the heart of regional instability. Durable peace in South Asia would remain elusive until the implementation of United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning Jammu and Kashmir.
President Trump’s leadership during the 2025 Pakistan India crisis manifestly showcases the continuation of his legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building. Pakistan remains hopeful that his earnest efforts will continue to contribute towards regional and global stability, particularly in the context of ongoing crises in the Middle East, including the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza and the deteriorating escalation involving Iran.
Russia resolutely condemns the United States’ strikes on Nuclear Facilities of Iran
In the meanwhile, President Trump took a Uturn and gave green signal for attacks on Irani Nuclear facilities that Iran claims , are for peaceful purpose, though, Israeli aggression was prompting her to test the nuclear in coming days.
Pakistan that was hailing President for his “contributions” to peace maintenance and promotion , had to issue condemnation on the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities which follow the series of attacks by Israel.
Pakistani statement reads as ; “We are gravely concerned at the possible further escalation of tensions in the region. We reiterate that these attacks violate all norms of international law and that Iran has the legitimate right to defend itself under the UN Charter.”
The unprecedented escalation of tension and violence, owing to ongoing aggression against Iran is deeply disturbing. Any further escalation of tensions will have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond.
We emphasise the imperative need to respect civilian lives and properties and immediately bring the conflict to end. All parties must adhere to international law, particularly International Humanitarian Law.
Recourse to dialogue, diplomacy, in line with the principles and purposes of the UN Charter remain the only viable pathway to resolve the crises in the region.
Pakistan can rethink and review its recent extraordinary and hasty decisions based on a so called rare meeting in Washington to stay safe from any further humiliation. India categorically denied Trump’s claim that he acted to stop hourly war between two South Asian rivals. Pakistan also need not feel obliged for that.
