‘They were going nuclear’: Trump claims he stopped India-Pakistan war after Operation Sindoor

“I ended eight unendable wars in 10 months… Pakistan and India. They were really going at it. Eight planes were shot down. They were going to go nuclear, in my opinion,” Trump said while addressing the media at the White House, according to a report by Moneycontrol.

However, India has repeatedly rejected Trump’s assertion, firmly maintaining that there was no third-party involvement in de-escalating the conflict between New Delhi and Islamabad.

Operation Sindoor was launched by the Indian Armed Forces in retaliation for the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. As part of the operation, Indian forces carried out precision strikes that destroyed nine terrorist camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The situation escalated further after Pakistan allegedly targeted civilian areas along the border without provocation, prompting a strong and calibrated response from the Indian military.

According to official details, the nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK were neutralised within 25 minutes of the operation. These camps were key training hubs for Pakistan-based terror outfits, including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizbul Mujahideen.

The Press Information Bureau (PIB) said the strikes were aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure actively involved in planning and executing attacks against India.
