Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday said the conflict between Israel and Iran has elevated Tehran’s status to a leadership role for the Muslim world as it forced Washington and Jerusalem to their knees.
“I salute the courage and determination of the Iranian leadership, its armed forces, and people for fighting this war. They did not have nuclear weapons; the only weapon they had is the belief and the desire for martyrdom,” the former chief minister told PTI.
“This forced the United States and its lapdog state, Israel, to their knees. Today, US President Donald Trump is talking about a ceasefire. It means that the outcome of the war so far has been opposite to the expectations of the US and Israel,” she said.
In a separate comment, Mufti expressed her disapproval of Pakistan’s decision to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, calling it “childish and premature.” She conveyed her disappointment, stating that it was concerning to nominate someone who appears uncertain about his actions and statements.
Through her remarks, Mufti underscores the shifting dynamics in international relations and the evolving role of Iran in the Muslim world, while also critiquing the political maneuvers of neighboring countries.
