Donald Trump-Asim Munir Lunch Leaves Internet Full Of Memes
Weeks after the India-Pakistan stand-off, US President Donald Trump hosted Asim Munir, the Pakistani Army Chief-turned-Field Marshal, for a private lunch at the White House.
The rare meeting came amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, with Munir's visit drawing attention due to Pakistan's close ties with Tehran. "They know Iran better than most," Trump told reporters. Munir was accompanied by ISI chief Lt Gen Asim Malik during the hour-long meeting.
While no details of the discussion were made public, the internet filled in the blanks. Memes have taken over, with edits of Trump and Munir "brokering world peace over biryani" now flooding social feeds.
A user on X, wrote, "Trump giving free food to Munir so that Pakistan can backstab Iran when the time comes."

According to Trump, the luncheon was his way of thanking Munir for helping prevent a full-blown war with India after four days of missile and drone exchanges in May. Trump praised both Munir and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling them "very smart people" for defusing what he claimed could've escalated into a nuclear conflict.

'There is no red line' US hasn't crossed, says Iran's foreign minister; declares diplomacy dead after America strikes on nuclear sites
Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Sunday expressed gratitude to US President Donald Trump for carrying out military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, calling it a "decisive moment" between the axis of terror and that of hope. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi declared on Sunday that the United States has crossed 'the most dangerous red line' by launching overnight strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites, warning that diplomacy is no longer on the table and that the US bears full responsibility for what comes next. 'There is no red line left that the US hasn't crossed,' Araghchi told reporters in Istanbul. 'The last and most dangerous one was what happened only last night when they crossed a very big red line by attacking nuclear facilities.' He added, 'The door to diplomacy should always be open, but this is not the case right now.' This marks the first official Iranian response since US President Donald Trump announced that American B-2 bombers, supported by submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles, had struck Iran's Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites. Trump claimed the sites were 'completely and fully obliterated,' calling it a 'historic moment' and warning Tehran that 'there will either be peace or there will be tragedy for Iran.' The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran confirmed the sites had been hit but insisted that the program 'cannot be stopped.' The IAEA said there was no sign of radiation leakage but would continue to monitor the situation. Iran's foreign ministry accused Washington of 'betraying diplomacy' and launching 'a dangerous war.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 40세 넘고 PC만 있으면? 이 게임 완전 내 거임! Hero Wars 플레이하기 Undo It vowed to respond with 'full force.' 'The warmongering, lawless administration in Washington is solely and fully responsible for the dangerous consequences and far-reaching implications of its act of aggression,' Araghchi said. Shortly after the US strikes, Iran launched 40 missiles at Israel, injuring over 80 people and damaging several buildings. Israel retaliated with fresh strikes on military targets in western Iran. The Israeli military has reported being on high alert for a prolonged conflict. Meanwhile, global leaders have raised alarm. UN Secretary-General António Guterres called the situation 'a dangerous escalation,' warning of a growing risk of catastrophic regional war. Despite warnings from Tehran, Trump defended his decision as necessary to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, which the US and Israel argue remain a threat even as Tehran denies pursuing a bomb. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump's action, calling it 'bold' and 'historic.'

Owaisi's blistering takedown of Pakistan's Nobel pitch after Trump bombs Iran
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 22 (ANI): AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday launched a blistering attack on Pakistan's earlier pitch for a Nobel Peace Prize for US President Donald Trump, following America's airstrikes on Iran's key nuclear facilities. The Lok Sabha MP questioned whether Pakistan had supported Trump only to see him drop bombs on a sovereign nation. 'We should ask Pakistanis if for this they want Trump to get a Nobel Peace Prize...' Owaisi said in Hyderabad, referring to the strikes carried out by the United States on Iran's nuclear sites in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. The AIMIM leader further mocked Pakistan's military leadership, saying, '...Did Pakistan's General (Army chief Asim Munir) have lunch with the US president for this? They all have been exposed today.' Slamming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Owaisi said, 'This attack by the US has helped Netanyahu, who is a butcher of Palestinians... A genocide is happening in Gaza, and the US is not worried about it.' He said, 'This man (Netanyahu), he has butchered Palestinians... He is doing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank and in Gaza. History will remember him as the butcher of Palestinians.' Owaisi also warned of serious consequences for India if a full-scale war breaks out in the region. 'We must also remember that more than 16 million Indians live in the Gulf and Middle East, and if that area erupts in a war, which unfortunately is very likely, then it will have a grave impact on the Indians living there,' he told ANI. He said the region was vital for India's economy. 'The investments which Indian companies have made in all these Arab countries or Gulf countries, and a substantial amount of foreign investment comes from this area,' he added. Calling the nuclear threat from Iran a 'boogie,' Owaisi said, 'And lastly, this boogie has been created about Iran having nuclear weapons, or this and that, the same thing was used in Iraq, Weapons of Mass Destruction. Nothing, nothing came out.' The AIMIM chief's remarks come hours after the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, including Fordow. Fordow is Iran's main enrichment location for uranium enrichment to 60 per cent. The government of Pakistan wrote in a Friday statement on the social media platform X said that it would nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize as reported by several media outlets in the US, including The Hill. The US publication reported that after Pakistan announced the nomination, Trump shared a grim outlook on his chances of obtaining recognition from an international award for conflict intervention hours after securing a treaty between Rwanda and the Congo. 'No, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that's all that matters to me!' Trump wrote in a Friday Truth Social post. (ANI)

"This is an escalation": Foreign Affairs Expert Robinder Sachdev after US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities
New Delhi [India], June 22 (ANI): Foreign Affairs Expert Robinder Sachdev on Sunday described the US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities as an escalation to the week old Israel-Iran conflict, warning that the situation is likely to deteriorate further. His comments come in the wake of recent US airstrikes targeting three key Iranian nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Iran's main enrichment location for uranium enrichment to 60 per cent. 'This is an escalation, and it seems there will be no end; the situation will worsen, go up and down. It seems that the region of the Middle East will now be plunged into Forever Wars... Iran will fight back with whatever resources it has. It will retaliate. However, it doesn't have much capacity, but it will still attempt to do its best,' he told ANI. Sachdev said that US President Donald Trump's claim of eliminating the entire nuclear programme of Iran is 'wrong'. 'Donald Trump is correct in saying that tonight's attack was a spectacular attack by the American Armed forces, but he is wrong in saying that this attack has eliminated the entire nuclear programme of Iran; it has not...... The Iranians have already trandffered Uranium though it is not weapon grade but whatever enriched uranium they had, it seems they have distributed and hidden in some other locations but yes, a major blow to Iran's nuclear programme has been delivered but it does not mean that the entire nuclear programme of Iran has been obliterated,' he added. He further said that Iran's attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz could lead India to suffer, as according to him, about 20 per cent of the world's crude oil and 25 per cent of the world's natural gas flow through one of the world's most important oil chokepoints located between Oman and Iran, connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. '...If Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, India will definitely suffer. About 20 per cent of the world's crude oil and 25 per cent of the world's natural gas flow through these. Qatar's gas, which we buy, almost all flows through this. 70 per cent of Saudi oil comes through the Strait of Hormuz,' Sachdev said. 'India will suffer because oil prices will go up, inflation will rise, and there is an estimate that for every ten-dollar increase in the price of crude oil, India's GDP will suffer by 0.5 per cent,' the Foreign affairs expert added. After Northrop Grumman-made B-2 Spirit bombers struck nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, Trump, in his first public remarks, warned that he could order further action if Tehran does not agree to a satisfactory peace agreement. In his address to the nation from the White House on Saturday (local time), Trump said, 'There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we've witnessed over the last eight days.' In a Truth Social post, Trump said, 'This cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be a tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.' Trump also thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said, 'I want to thank Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.' (ANI)
