Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Credits Trump for Role in 2025 India-Pakistan Ceasefire
India rejected Pakistan’s Kashmir claims and said cross-border terrorism will have consequences after Shehbaz Sharif praised Donald Trump’s intervention in the 2025 conflict.
- On September 25, 2026, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif addressed the 81st UN General Assembly, warning that any attempt to divert Indus waters would be treated as an "act of war" while crediting President Donald Trump for his "timely intervention" in the 2025 conflict.
- Following the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, India placed the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance and launched Operation Sindoor, a military confrontation that Sharif revisited in his UN address.
- Petal Gahlot, First Secretary at the UN, delivered India's Right of Reply on Saturday, dismissing Sharif's remarks as "bizarre" and labeling Pakistan "a regime of the army, by the army, and for the army."
- India rejected claims of third-party mediation, maintaining that direct military talks ended the 2025 ceasefire, while citing Osama bin Laden's presence near Pakistan's military academy as evidence of Islamabad's duplicity on terrorism.
- Kashmir remains Pakistan's "jugular vein," Sharif stated, while condemning Houthi attacks on Makkah and reaffirming the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey as a collective commitment to regional stability.
