Former President Donald Trump has been officially nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering a cease-fire between Israel and Iran.
Nomination Letter Cites Historic Breakthrough
Rep. Buddy Carter, a Republican from Georgia, submitted the nomination to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, praising Trump for his “extraordinary and historic role in brokering an end to the armed conflict between Israel and Iran and preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet.”
Carter continued, “President Trump’s influence was instrumental in forging a swift agreement that many believed to be impossible. His leadership at this moment exemplifies the very ideals that the Nobel Peace Prize seeks to recognize: the pursuit of peace, the prevention of war, and the advancement of international harmony.”
He added, “In a region long burdened by animosity and instability, this kind of breakthrough takes both courage and clarity. President Trump showed both, and gave the world a rare moment of hope.”
Cease-Fire Announced Following US Strikes
Just days before the nomination, Trump announced a cease-fire between Iran and Israel. He suggested naming the conflict the “12 Day War,” after authorizing unprecedented American strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites in support of Israeli efforts.
Despite the nomination, Trump has voiced skepticism about ever being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do,” he wrote on Truth Social last Friday after the Trump administration helped negotiate peace between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
