8:06Now PlayingWorld News: US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that he mediated between India and Pakistan during their May 2025 military standoff - repeating assertions about jets being shot down. He is facing scrutiny after making shifting claims about the number of jets allegedly shot down in the brief conflict last year. In recent remarks, Trump cited three different figures, first saying seven jets were downed, then eight, and later claiming eleven. The changing numbers have raised immediate questions about the accuracy and source of his information.
Speaking at his Board of Peace event on Thursday, Trump revived his allegation that multiple aircraft were downed during the hostilities. This time, he said "11 jets were shot down," describing them as "very expensive jets."
The May 2025 standoff followed India's launch of Operation Sindoor on May 7 last year, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. New Delhi has maintained that its actions were calibrated and focused, and has not validated Trump's fluctuating claims about aircraft losses or external mediation.
As of now, there has been no formal confirmation from the U.S. Department of Defense or other relevant authorities verifying those figures. Pakistani officials have also not publicly confirmed the specific numbers referenced in Trump’s comments. The discrepancy in the figures has drawn attention because military claims involving aircraft losses are typically subject to verification through official briefings or defense assessments.
