Mufti Taqi Usmani Slams U.S. Attack on Iran, Questions Trump’s Nobel Candidacy

One of Pakistan’s most respected religious scholars, Mufti Taqi Usmani, has strongly condemned the recent U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, describing it as a blatant act of aggression and questioning the moral legitimacy of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize aspirations.

Taking to social media, Mufti Usmani wrote:

“A person who threatens to turn other countries into hell is not worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. I strongly condemn the U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear installations.”

Mufti Usmani’s statement comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following the U.S. assault on Iranian nuclear sites—a move that has drawn criticism from multiple global quarters, including Pakistan’s Foreign Office, which called it a violation of Iran’s sovereignty and a threat to regional peace.

The scholar emphasized that such acts of militarism contradict international norms and the very spirit of peace that prestigious awards like the Nobel Peace Prize are meant to uphold.

His remarks appeared to be directed at former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly expressed interest in being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize despite his administration’s track record of military confrontations in the Middle East.

Mufti Taqi Usmani’s voice adds to a growing chorus within Pakistan that has denounced the strike as destabilizing, unjustified, and potentially catastrophic for the region.

The reaction from Pakistan’s religious, political, and civil society circles underscores the widespread concern over escalating conflict and the importance of diplomacy over confrontation in addressing global disputes.
