Pakistan to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize over India-Pakistan ceasefire
Pakistan announced on Saturday its intention to nominate US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, praising his role in ending the recent conflict between India and Pakistan.
Officials said Trump's intervention demonstrated the diplomatic foresight and political skill needed to defuse a rapidly escalating crisis.
Some analysts in Pakistan suggest that this move could encourage Trump to reconsider any potential involvement with Israel in strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. Pakistan has strongly condemned Israeli attacks, describing them as violations of international law and threats to regional stability.
In May, Trump's unexpected announcement of a ceasefire brought an abrupt end to a four-day conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Since then, Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for averting a nuclear war and saving millions of lives, while expressing frustration over the lack of recognition.
While Pakistan credits US diplomatic efforts for halting the fighting, India maintains the ceasefire was the result of a bilateral agreement between its and Pakistan's militaries.
Pakistan stated: 'President Trump showed remarkable strategic vision and exceptional political acumen through his strong diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, leading to the de-escalation of a rapidly deteriorating situation... This intervention stands as proof of his role as a true peacemaker.'
Governments have the right to nominate individuals for the Nobel Peace Prize. So far, there has been no official response from Washington, and Indian government representatives did not reply to requests for comment.

US deploys B-2 bombers, capable of destroying Iran's Fordow nuclear facility to Pacific: Report
The United States has deployed six B-2 stealth bombers toward Guam, a strategic base in the Western Pacific, amid escalating regional tensions and ongoing 'Israeli' airstrikes on Iranian territory. The aircraft are capable of carrying the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a bunker-busting bomb believed to be the only conventional weapon that could threaten Iran's heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. According to a report by Fox News, the bombers departed from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, accompanied by at least four aerial refueling tankers. Flight tracking data and air traffic control communications indicated that the bombers likely refueled shortly after takeoff, suggesting they may have launched with a heavy payload that could include bunker-buster munitions. Fordow, located near the city of Qom and buried 80–90 meters beneath a mountain, has long been regarded as one of Iran's most secure nuclear sites. Experts have debated whether even the GBU-57—designed to penetrate reinforced underground bunkers—could fully destroy the site, though multiple strikes may be capable of collapsing surrounding infrastructure. 'Destroying Fordow from the air is a job only the U.S. can do,' Fox News Digital quoted Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, as saying. Jonathan Ruhe of the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) explained that the GBU-57 relies on gravity and kinetic energy to burrow through layers of rock and concrete before detonation, potentially collapsing or disabling key infrastructure underground. The 'Israeli' daily Haaretz reported that Fordow is already among the designated targets in Israel's military planning. A senior Israeli military source told the outlet: 'If we are given the order to strike, we will act.' While the bombers are currently en route to Guam, Haaretz noted they may continue on to Diego Garcia, a U.S. base in the Indian Ocean that lies just over 3,500 kilometers from Iran, though this has not been confirmed. The deployment follows an intense week of conflict. On June 13, 'Israel' launched over 1,000 airstrikes across Iran, targeting missile infrastructure, military facilities, and nuclear sites. Tehran responded with missile attacks, escalating fears of a wider regional war. The Iranian Health Ministry reported that at least 430 people have been killed and over 3,500 wounded in the 'Israeli' assault. In contrast, Israeli authorities say at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured in Iran's retaliatory strikes. Iran has issued a warning to the United States, stating that direct involvement in 'Israeli'-led operations would trigger a regional response. Tehran also said it would not return to stalled nuclear talks 'under fire.'

If US joins 'Israeli' attack on Iran, we will target their ships in Red Sea, warn Houthis
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree today issued a strong statement reiterating the group's principled and steadfast rejection of 'Zionist aggression' against their Arab and Islamic brothers in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and any other Arab or Islamic country subjected to 'Israeli' attacks, as reflected in previous declarations. The statement described the ongoing battle against the 'Israeli' enemy, particularly its recent aggression targeting Iran, as part of a broader pattern of crimes committed against the Palestinian people, including mass killings and continuous attacks on the Lebanese and Syrian peoples, as well as Yemen itself. The recent escalation against the Islamic Republic of Iran under the guise of 'changing the face of the Middle East' was described as an attempt by Israel, backed by open American support and partnership, to gain full control over the region. Israel enemy sees Iran as the largest obstacle to the realization of its plan. Accordingly, the statement warned that any American aggression supporting 'Israel' against Iran as part of this goal to enable 'Israeli' dominance over the entire region will not be tolerated. Such actions would mean the confiscation of the freedom, independence, dignity, and identity of Arab and Islamic nations, their enslavement, humiliation, occupation of their lands, theft of their resources, and the establishment of a dangerous precedent for the desecration of lives, honor, land, and holy sites. Yahya Saree affirmed that this battle is a collective one for the entire nation. Salvation, pride, and victory lie in action and jihad in the way of God, citing Quranic verses emphasizing fighting in God's cause and divine support for believers who stand firm. The statement further declared that in the event of any American involvement in attacks on Iran alongside Israel, Yemeni forces will target American ships and warships in the Red Sea. The Houthis are closely monitoring all hostile movements in the region, including those against Yemen itself, and will take all necessary and legitimate measures to defend the country and its proud people. Finally, Yahya Saree affirmed the group's unwavering solidarity with any Arab or Islamic country facing Zionist aggression or deciding to confront such aggression in self-defense or in support of the Palestinian resistance fighters. They vowed never to abandon their brothers in Gaza and will not allow this criminal, US-backed entity to realize its plans in the region.
