US President Donald Trump has claimed credit for halting hostilities between India and Pakistan, as well as boosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's election prospects, during campaign appearances in Texas. Trump stated that his tariff threats had prevented further fighting between the two countries, and that his endorsement had helped Netanyahu recover ground in Israel's election. Speaking at a rally in Corpus Christi, Trump said he had used trade pressure to prevent further fighting between India and Pakistan, claiming that he had threatened both countries with tariffs of 250% if hostilities continued. However, India has rejected external mediation and disputed Trump's account of the conflict, stating that the May 10, 2025 understanding to halt military action followed direct contact between the two countries' Directors General of Military Operations, initiated by Pakistan. Trump also claimed that his endorsement had helped Netanyahu recover ground in Israel's election, saying "I think when the endorsement went out, it had helped him a lot." However, the outcome of the election remains unsettled, with partial projections suggesting that Netanyahu's bloc is projected to secure 55 seats, while the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar Party is projected to take 49 seats. In a separate development, Trump claimed that Iran had sought a deal but was prolonging the process, possibly until after the US midterm elections. However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei criticized Trump's remarks, accusing Washington of reneging on commitments and treating international obligations as disposable. The exchanges offered no confirmed timetable for an agreement.
