India rejected third-party mediation during Operation Sindoor, says Pakistan foreign minister Dar

During an interview with Al Jazeera, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar on Monday contradicted claims made by US President Donald Trump, who asserted that the US brokered a ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed nations.

Trump, since May, had been claiming that his administration's mediation averted a potential "nuclear war."

Dar stated Pakistan sought a ceasefire after India's strikes, with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio informing him India doesn't support outside involvement.
