(131,242 posts)The unprecedented escalation of tension and violence, owing to ongoing aggression against Iran is deeply disturbing. Any further escalation of tensions will have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond, Pakistans Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
In Pakistans biggest city, Karachi, thousands marched in protest against the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
A large American flag with a picture of Trump on it was placed on the road for demonstrators to walk over. The protesters shouted out chants against America, Israel and Pakistans regional enemy India.
Pakistan on Saturday said it was nominating Trump as "a genuine peacemaker" for his role in bringing a four-day conflict with India to an end last month. It said he had demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship.
India says Trump had nothing to do with ending the conflict with Pakistan.
However, Modi told Trump in a phone call late on Tuesday that the ceasefire was achieved through talks between the Indian and Pakistani militaries and not U.S. mediation, according to India's most senior diplomat, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri.

Trump said that both Iran and Israel violated the ceasefire he announced yesterday. I think they both violated it, he said. Im not sure they did it intentionally. They couldnt reign people back. I dont like the fact that Israel went out this morning at all, and Im going to see if I can stop it.
The Republican added, We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they dont know what the f--- theyre doing. Do you understand that?

As part of the same Q&A, Trump accused both countries of behaving in a ridiculous way.
So to summarize, roughly half a day after the American president said the Israel/Iran ceasefire would likely go forever, and there was no reason to believe Israel and Iran will ever be shooting at each other again, Trump was reduced to dropping an f-bomb on the White House South Lawn as his frustrations boiled over.
The point is not to chide the president for having a potty mouth. Rather, the point is that he really ought to understand by now that premature triumphalism is folly, and assuming the complexities of Middle East conflicts can be resolved through the force of his will is absurd.
Or put another way, Trump is getting a timely lesson in Middle East crises are complicated, which seems like the sort of thing he shouldve already known.
