ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s government is facing public pressure after revealing its plan to recommend U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The government says the move is for his role in reducing tensions with India, but critics point to Trump’s recent strikes on Iran as disqualifying.
Pakistan said on Saturday that it would recommend Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in defusing the India-Pakistan conflict in May. The next day, Trump authorized U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz.
