'Trump can say bye to that Nobel Peace Prize - you can't take one mid-airstrike'

In a twist worthy of a political soap opera, Pakistan nominated Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, only to slam him harder than a bunker-busting bomb, less than 24 hours later, for attacking Iran.
Islamabad had heaped praise on the convicted felon for brokering a truce between India and Pakistan after the Kashmir massacre, calling his role a 'decisive diplomatic intervention'.
But by Sunday, the tone had flipped faster than a reality show confession.
After Trump launched airstrikes on Iran, Pakistan condemned the attack as a 'serious violation of international law' and scolded him for undermining the very peace they'd just tried to reward.
Turns out, it's hard to hand someone a Peace Prize while they're mid-airstrike.
