Filmmaker Hansal Mehta sarcastically suggested awarding Trump a Nobel Prize just to shut him up. Trump had earlier complained about not receiving recognition for mediating conflicts. Meanwhile, US airstrikes on Iran escalated tensions, triggering retaliatory attacks on Israel. The situation has drawn global powers into a complex geopolitical standoff.

"If a Nobel Peace Prize is what it takes to get him to ST*U, then by all means—give it to him." — Hansal Mehta
Mumbai, June 22: Filmmaker Hansal Mehta wants the President of the USA, Donald Trump to be conferred with the Nobel Prize but not for the latter’s work but to make him shut up for once.

Key Points

Iran retaliates with Israel air raids

Hansal recently took to the Stories section of his Instagram, and shared the statement of POTUS in which he demanded a Nobel Prize.

President Trump had said in his statement, “I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war between India and Pakistan, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war between Serbia and Kosovo”.

His statement was with regards to the recent military stand-off between India and Pakistan, and the ongoing North Kosovo crisis. While the India and Pakistan stand-off was the result of the dastardly Pahalgam attack by Pakistan sponsored terrorists, the conflict between Serbia and Kosovo finds its bone of contention is the license plates.

Responding to Trump’s statement, Hansal wrote, “If a Nobel Peace Prize is what it takes to get him to ST*U, then by all means-give it to him. A small price to pay for silencing a tireless motormouth”.

After Hansal’s rant, the USA carried out air strikes against Iran on the latter’s nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.

After the strikes, POTUS Trump said in his televised Oval Office statement, “Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. The strikes were a spectacular military success”.

However, Iran has refuted any considerable damage to its nuclear programme, and has been pummeling Israel in retaliation for the US strikes. Sirens were blaring across Israel on Sunday as Iran intensified its air-raids.

While Israel has the support of the USA and almost of the entire West, Iran so far has support from Russia, China and North Korea with Russia out of picture in the light of the recent US strikes on Iran.

Hansal Mehta makes a valid point! Trump's constant boasting is exhausting. As Indians, we know he didn't actually "stop" the India-Pakistan conflict - our armed forces handled that with restraint. Nobel Prize? More like a participation trophy! 😂

While Trump's ego is problematic, we shouldn't ignore how his administration strengthened India-US ties. The Quad alliance has been crucial for our security against China. But yes, his constant self-praise is too much to handle sometimes!

The Nobel Peace Prize has lost its credibility long back. Remember they gave it to Obama before he even did anything! At least Trump was honest about wanting it. But Mehta's sarcasm is on point - Trump talks more than our local politicians during election season!

As an Indian watching global politics, I'm more concerned about how these US-Iran tensions might affect oil prices here. Trump's bluster is entertaining, but our middle class suffers when petrol becomes costlier. Focus on real issues please!

Whether you love him or hate him, Trump brought entertainment to world politics. But let's be clear - India doesn't need foreign mediators for our issues with Pakistan. We're capable of handling our own affairs, thank you very much. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
