US President Donald Trump once again claimed that he had ended eight wars, including the India-Pakistan conflict that arose in the aftermath of the Pahalgam Terror attack last year. In his State of the Union Address on Tuesday night (local time), the US President also claimed that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would have died in the war.Trump went on to make a stunning revelation saying that Sharif had told him that almost 35 million people would have died had he not intervened in the conflict.

The US president has previously made similar claims, stating that Sharif had credited him with saving millions of lives by helping end the conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours. On earlier occasions, Trump had cited lower figures, including 25 million and, later, 10 million lives.

Pakistan PM would have died if...: Trump

"In my first 10 months, I ended eight wars... Cambodia and Thailand... Pakistan and India would have had a nuclear war. 35 million people said the Prime Minister of Pakistan would have died if it were not for my involvement," he claimed.

India has denied any involvement of the United States in the agreement to cease hostilities with Pakistan, maintaining that the request to end military operations had come from the Director General of Military Operations in Pakistan.

In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, Pakistan initiated a series of retaliatory drone and UCAV attacks targeting key Indian airbases and logistics infrastructure. These attempts, however, were effectively neutralised by India's comprehensive and multi-layered air defence architecture.

The operation unfolded across land, air, and sea, a seamless demonstration of synergy between the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy. The Indian Air Force (IAF) played a crucial role in delivering precision strikes against terror infrastructure across Pakistan. It conducted high-impact air operations on targets such as the Nur Khan Air Base and the Rahimyar Khan Air Base.
