Pakistan has condemned U.S. President Donald Trump for bombing Iran, less than 24 hours after saying he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for defusing a recent crisis with India.

Pakistan had praised Trump's "legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building" prior to the U.S. strikes.

Pakistan's recommendation endorsed by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, was submitted to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in Norway last week. The government cited Trump's role in easing tensions between India and Pakistan as justification for the nomination.
