US President Donald Trump has once again referred to the 2025 war between Pakistan and India, claiming that 11 aircraft were shot down during the fighting. He said he had threatened both countries with trade restrictions to stop the war.

Addressing a rally in Florida, Trump said he had played a role in stopping eight wars around the world. According to him, despite these efforts, he did not receive the Nobel Prize.

Threat of Trade

Trump claimed that he helped stop five of the eight wars through tariffs. He said Pakistan and India are both nuclear powers and stopping the war between them was important.

According to the US president, he had warned both countries that if the war was not stopped, the United States would halt trade and impose heavy tariffs.

Trump said that 11 aircraft were shot down during the Pakistan-India war. He also claimed that the United Nations had not helped him in stopping the wars.

The US president said it was an honour for him to stop all the wars.

Possibility of a New Operation Against Iran

Speaking about Iran, Trump said the United States could carry out another operation against the country. According to him, the United States has the capability to end the war with Iran quickly.

He said the real question was whether to end the war or allow Iran to become further weakened.

Trump further said that Cuba would also be dealt with after the Iran issue. According to him, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be sent to finalise the agreement.

Oil Transportation Through the Strait of Hormuz

Speaking about the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, the US president claimed that oil transportation through the strait was continuing. He said the United States was extracting oil from the Strait of Hormuz according to its own wishes.

Trump also claimed that more oil was currently being exported through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war.
