During his address at the United Nations General Assembly, US President Donald Trump reiterated his assertion about resolving seven longstanding conflicts around the world.

"In a period of just seven months, I have ended seven unendable wars," Trump declared at the 80th UNGA session, referring to disputes between Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.

Trump elaborated on his claim, stating, "They said they were unendable, some were going for 31 years, one was 36 years. I ended 7 wars and in all cases they were raging with countless thousands of people being killed," while adding that no previous president or leader has "ever done anything close to that".

In his speech, Trump also criticized the United Nations for its ineffectiveness, saying it "did not even try to help" resolve these conflicts. "It's not even coming close to living up to its potential... it's empty words, and empty words don't solve wars," he remarked.

Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a "full and immediate" ceasefire through US mediation, he has repeatedly referenced this achievement in public addresses.

However, India has consistently denied these claims, maintaining that the ceasefire was achieved through direct military-to-military discussions between India and Pakistan without US involvement.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi clarified in Parliament that no foreign leader had requested India to halt Operation Sindoor, which was launched in response to the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives.

Supporting India's position, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar told Al Jazeera that "India never agreed to any third-party mediation" on bilateral issues, explaining, "We don't mind third-party involvement, but India has categorically been stating it's a bilateral matter."
