Jammu and Kashmir | June 22 : In a surprising twist on the international stage, Pakistan has proposed nominating U.S. President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, crediting him with defusing rising military tensions between India and Pakistan.
While this announcement appears to reflect diplomatic gratitude, strategic observers interpret it as a thinly veiled admission of just how dangerously close Pakistan was to facing a major setback along the Line of Control — with Indian forces reportedly nearing a breakthrough in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Rather than confronting internal weaknesses or accepting military vulnerabilities, Pakistan’s leadership seems to be reframing the ceasefire narrative as a diplomatic success — relying on external actors to overshadow internal accountability.
But there’s a bitter truth behind such global theater: for decades, America, with support from certain Arab Muslim states, has orchestrated cold-blooded power games — from the endless suffering in Gaza and Palestine to the recent covert assaults on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure — all under the garb of peace, while projecting brute force as policy.
This move by Pakistan brings serious questions to the forefront:Is this Nobel talk a heartfelt gesture, or a diplomatic shield to hide what was nearly a historic territorial loss?And more importantly, are we sleepwalking toward a global conflict — a Third World War — under the illusion of peace diplomacy?
