Washington DC: US President Donald Trump predicted that he would soon broker peace between Israel and Iran, citing unspecified “calls and meetings” as evidence of progress, adding that his intervention had led to peace between several conflict-ridden countries, but he “never got credit.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “We will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place. I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that’s OK, the PEOPLE understand. MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!”
He also claimed credit for several international diplomatic achievements, including the India-Pakistan peace, asserting that he brokered peace between India and Pakistan through trade with the US, although there’s no evidence to support this claim.
“Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make, in that case by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks with two excellent leaders who were able to quickly make a decision and STOP!,” Trump posted.
However, India rejected Donald Trump’s claims of trade being a key part of reaching the ceasefire understanding with Pakistan, saying it was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries.
Trump’s claim raised its head even after India’s All-Party Delegation cleared the air with US Vice President JD Vance on June 6.
All-Party Delegation Leader and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor while talking to ANI, said that the delegation’s meeting with Vance was a good one and that he understood India’s position on Trump’s false claim.
“The meeting with Vice President Vance was outstanding, very good, very clear. I think we made our position amply clear on this question of mediation, and Vice President Vance fully understood our points,” he said. (IANS)
