President Donald Trump continued ranting on his Truth Social account Monday morning with a post that seemed part of his lobbying for a Nobel Peace Prize, claiming to have been responsible for the release of Hamas hostages and ending six wars.

The president has been on a relentless social media discharge in the aftermath of his Alaska summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, which received broad criticism for how Trump literally rolled out a red carpet for a man who is an indicted war criminal and for the lack of progress on an agreement to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Multiple posts on Trump’s Truth Social account have complained about the media coverage of his meeting with Putin, demanding that there will be “NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE” in anticipation of his upcoming meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and declaring his opposition to mail-in ballots in a heavily capitalized post.

Later Monday morning, Trump published a new post talking about the hostages held by Hamas and the U.S. strikes on Iran, claiming he was “the one who” negotiated the release of the hostages, “OBLITERATED Iran’s Nuclear facilities,” and “ended 6 wars, in just 6 months.”

The full text of Trump’s post:

We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!! The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be. Remember, I was the one who negotiated and got hundreds of hostages freed and released into Israel (and America!). I was the one who ended 6 wars, in just 6 months. I was the one who OBLITERATED Iran’s Nuclear facilities. Play to WIN, or don’t play at all! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

Edan Alexander, the last living American hostage held by Hamas, was released in May. Another released Israeli hostage, Omer Shev Tov, told CNN that Hamas treated him “better” after Trump was elected.

Whether or not Iran’s nuclear facilities have truly been “obliterated” is a matter of dispute, with the White House publicly insisting that was the situation, but reports from multiple media outlets cast doubt on that claim.

“One of the three nuclear enrichment sites in Iran struck by the United States last month was mostly destroyed, setting work there back significantly. But the two others were not as badly damaged and may have been degraded only to a point where nuclear enrichment could resume in the next several months if Iran wants it to, according to a recent U.S. assessment of the destruction caused by the military operation,” NBC News reported in mid-July, citing “five current and former U.S. officials familiar with the assessment.”
