Pakistan condemned President Donald Trump for bombing less than 24 hours after expressing that he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for de-escalating a recent crisis with India.

On Saturday, the Pakistani government credited Trump’s “decisive diplomatic intervention” and “pivotal leadership” for mediating a truce with India. This followed a massacre of tourists in in April, which had brought the nuclear-armed rivals closer to war in the subsequent weeks, with mutual attacks continuing until intense U.S.-led diplomatic efforts resulted in a ceasefire.

The next day, however, Pakistan condemned the U.S. for attacking Iran, stating that the strikes “constituted a serious violation of international law” and the statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Shehbaz Sharif, during a Sunday phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, conveyed his concern that the bombings had targeted facilities under the safeguards of the IAEA, the Associated Press reported. Pakistan maintains close ties with Iran and supports its attacks on Israel, asserting that it has the right to self-defense.

Mushahid Hussain, a former chair of the Senate Defense Committee in Pakistan’s parliament, suggested to Reuters last week that Pakistan benefited from cultivating favor with Trump.

“Trump is good for Pakistan,” he told Reuters. “If this flatters Trump’s ego, so be it. All the European leaders have been heavily courting him.”

There was no immediate comment on Monday from Islamabad regarding the Trump Nobel recommendation, which also followed a high-profile White House lunch meeting between the president and Pakistan’s powerful army chief, Asim Munir.

Thursday’s meeting, which lasted over two hours, was also attended by the Secretary of State and Steve Witkoff, the U.S. Special Representative for Middle Eastern Affairs.

According to a Pakistani military statement, a detailed exchange of views occurred concerning the “prevailing tensions between Iran and Israel, with both leaders emphasizing the importance of the resolution of the conflict.”

Trump, meanwhile, was scheduled to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G-7 summit in Canada. Trump returned to Washington early for a Situation Room meeting regarding the Israel-Iran war.

A week before Trump announced the U.S. strikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities, the president stated in a social media post that Israel and Iran should and would 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!”

An Israeli official previously stated to Digital, however, that the goal of the Ayatollah and the Muslim Brotherhood is not trade with the United States, but rather the “destruction” of America and Israel. The same official advocated for a regime change in Iran – something Trump said is not the objective of the United States.

On Friday, Trump had lamented on TRUTH Social that he would not receive a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war between India and Pakistan, the war between Serbia and Kosovo, or for “keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia.”

“No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!” Trump said.
