New York:
US President Donald Trump on Sunday claimed that he could secure a deal between Iran and Israel just as he had done between other arch-rivals, as he repeated his claim that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan last month by "using trade".
In a post on Truth Social, Trump also claimed that "many calls and meetings are now taking place" on the issue.
"Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make, in that case by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks with two excellent leaders who were able to quickly make a decision and STOP!" Trump claimed.
The Indian government has maintained that India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes without any third-party involvement.
Israel attacked Iran early Friday targeting its nuclear, missile, and military infrastructure. Iran launched retaliatory strikes on Israel, which has threatened even greater force after some Iranian missiles struck buildings in Tel Aviv.
In his post, Trump listed other conflicts where he claimed he had intervened and stopped the fighting.
He said that during his first term, Serbia and Kosovo were going at it "hot and heavy", as they have for many decades, and this long-time conflict was ready to break out into "WAR".
"I stopped it (Biden has hurt the longer term prospects with some very stupid decisions, but I will fix it, again!). Another case is Egypt and Ethiopia, and their fight over a massive dam that is having an effect on the magnificent Nile River. There is peace, at least for now, because of my intervention, and it will stay that way!" He said, "Likewise, we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place. I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that's OK, the PEOPLE understand. MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!" About two weeks after the horrific April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir in which 26 civilians were killed, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
Indian government sources in New Delhi have maintained that the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea with immediate effect. They said no third party was involved.
On May 10, Trump claimed on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a "full and immediate" ceasefire after a "long night" of talks mediated by Washington.
He has repeated the claim over a dozen times that he "helped settle" the tensions between India and Pakistan. Trump said that he told the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours that America will do a "lot of trade" with them if they stopped the conflict.

Iran mulls leaving nuclear non-proliferation treaty as tensions with Israel escalate
As the tensions with Israel escalate, Iran has stated that its parliament is working towards withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In a statement issued by the Iranian foreign ministry, it stated that Iranian parliamentarians are working towards a bill for Tehran's exit from the key nuclear treaty. "In light of recent developments, we will take an appropriate decision. Government has to enforce parliament bills but such a proposal is just being prepared and we will coordinate in the later stages with parliament," the ministry's spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said during a press conference. Track LIVE updates here The foreign ministry's statement comes as Israel and Iran's conflict continues to escalate. In a surprise attack on June 13, Israel launched 'Operation Rising Lion' under which it carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities. In response to this, Iran responded with a retaliatory attack on Israeli military bases. Since then, the two nations have exchanged fire for four consecutive days. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is an international treaty aiming to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. The treaty calls on countries to cooperate for peaceful uses of nuclear energy and work towards nuclear disarmament. Under this treaty, the permanent five members of the United Nations - the US, the UK, France, Russia and China - are identified as nuclear weapon states. This treaty came into being after other countries began to develop their own nuclear weapons. NPT came into force in 1970, and in 1995, it was extended indefinitely. As per UN data, a total of 191 states have signed the key nuclear treaty. Iran ratified the treaty in its parliament in 1970. Under the NPT, countries are allowed to pursue civilian nuclear power after giving up atomic weapons and cooperating with the UN nuclear watchdog - the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Iran's nuclear programme came back on track after the US withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018. Since then, Iran has been accused of violating the NPT and the non-cooperation with the IAEA. While Iran has rejected all claims, countries such as Israel and the US have time and again stated that Tehran is close to building a nuclear bomb. Israel's attack on Iran also comes after Tel Aviv claimed Tehran was on the verge of building a nuclear bomb. Israeli strikes also came in the midst of nuclear talks between the US and Iran, which have now been suspended.

Meanwhile, Tehran continues to point the finger at Israel, which is not a signatory of NPT or any other international nuclear treaty, of being the only state in the Middle East to posses weapons of mass destruction. Furthermore, Israel has also not accepted IAEA safeguards on some of its principle nuclear activities and maintains its nuclear opacity.
