Story summary

On September 25, 2026, Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan's Prime Minister, addressed the UN General Assembly and credited Donald Trump with a "timely intervention" that halted a conflict between India and Pakistan in 2025. The conflict was sparked by an attack on April 22, 2025, in Pahalgam, which killed 26 civilians, leading to India's Operation Sindoor on May 7 of the same year. Sharif claimed that Trump's intervention averted further escalation and saved millions of lives, specifically mentioning 30 million lives as per Trump’s claim during his own UN address earlier in the week. Trump shared a clip from Sharif's speech on Truth Social, highlighting the acknowledgment without additional comment. Meanwhile, India has consistently denied any third-party involvement and rejects Pakistan's assertions regarding Kashmir.
