Trump is credited with ending the 12-day war. Israel launched attacks on the heart of Iran’s nuclear program and military leadership in June, saying it wanted to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon — which Tehran has denied it was trying to do.

U.S. President Donald Trump often claimed in his second presidential term that he stopped six wars within six months. On Aug. 18, 2025, during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while calling for an end to the Ukraine-Russia war, Trump said he had " ended " six wars.

“I’ve done six wars — I’ve ended six wars,” Trump said in his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders on Monday. “Look, India-Pakistan, we’re talking about big places, you just take a look at some of these wars. You go to Africa and take a look at them.”
