Washington | United States President Donald Trump has made a controversial and surprising statement regarding India-Pakistan relations during his first State of the Union address in his second term. Trump claimed that he had prevented India’s alleged “Operation Sindoor” and thereby saved nearly 3.5 crore lives in Pakistan. The statement has triggered global political discussions.
During his speech, President Trump said that if he had not intervened, a major military conflict could have escalated between India and Pakistan last year. He also claimed that Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had told him during a conversation that American intervention helped avert a possible humanitarian crisis. According to Trump, continuation of the alleged operation could have resulted in massive loss of life.

However, there has been no official confirmation regarding the so-called “Operation Sindoor” mentioned in Trump’s statement. The Indian government has also not released any public information about any military operation by that name. Defence and strategic affairs experts say such international claims should be independently verified, as no reliable sources have confirmed the existence of the operation so far.
Political analysts believe that Trump’s statement may also be part of a diplomatic messaging strategy. Experts note that in the context of global power balance and security policy, such claims are sometimes used to create political and strategic influence. Some analysts also warned that publicly sharing unverified military-related figures may lead to misinformation and confusion.
Tension between India and Pakistan over security and political issues has persisted for decades, although both countries have occasionally attempted diplomatic dialogue to improve relations. Following Trump’s latest remarks, discussions have intensified regarding regional geopolitics, with reactions also emerging on social media platforms.
There has been no official response from Pakistan regarding the statement so far. Similarly, the Indian government has also not issued any formal comment on the matter. Political experts suggest that such statements can sometimes affect international diplomatic balance, making careful and responsible communication important.
In his address, Trump also emphasized global security, trade policy, and international cooperation. He stated that the United States would continue working to promote global peace, stability, and economic growth. The President further said that his administration remains committed to preventing conflicts and strengthening the global security framework.
Meanwhile, debate continues internationally over Trump’s claim. Experts emphasize that any statement related to historical or military events should be verified through independent and reliable sources to avoid misinformation and public confusion. Global attention remains focused on possible future reactions related to the issue.
