Asaduddin Owaisi Mocks Pakistan Over US Strikes On Iran: ‘Should Trump Get A Nobel For This?’

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has sharply criticized both the United States and Pakistan in the wake of recent American airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, questioning Islamabad’s nomination of former US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

Speaking after the US launched what it dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer,” targeting Iranian nuclear sites in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, Owaisi mocked Pakistan's decision to back Trump for the Nobel. "We should ask Pakistanis if they want Trump to get a Nobel Peace Prize... Should he be rewarded for this?" the Hyderabad MP said.

Owaisi accused the US of double standards and of consistently shielding the actions of the Israeli government. "The US was never an honest broker — not in Iraq, not in Libya, not in Palestine. Their entire policy is to cover up the crimes of the Israeli government," he told news agency ANI.

The AIMIM leader further condemned Washington’s silence on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. "A genocide is happening, and no one is talking about it," he said. Drawing parallels with past US interventions, he added, "You went into Iraq for weapons of mass destruction that were never found. You removed Gaddafi in Libya. You killed Saddam. And now Iran — again, under the guise of global security."

Owaisi's comments come shortly after Pakistan nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his "diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership" during the recent India-Pakistan tensions. The nomination has drawn both domestic and international criticism amid escalating regional tensions.

Owaisi questioned whether Pakistan’s endorsement was influenced by the strikes on Iran. “Is this the leadership Pakistan wants to celebrate? Trump’s actions now speak louder than any peace rhetoric,” he said.
