Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize After Israel-Iran Ceasefire Deal
President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for his pivotal role in securing a ceasefire that ended the 12-day Israel-Iran war, halting Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The nomination, submitted by Rep. Buddy Carter, highlights Trump’s diplomatic breakthrough, though the ceasefire’s fragility and past committee biases cast doubt on his chances of winning.
On June 24, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump was nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for his critical role in securing a ceasefire that ended the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, dubbed “Am K’Lavie.” The nomination, put forward by Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.), celebrates Trump’s “extraordinary and historic” efforts in de-escalating a war that threatened to spiral into a broader regional crisis. Carter praised Trump’s leadership, stating, “President Trump’s influence was instrumental in forging a swift agreement that many believed to be impossible.” He also emphasized Trump’s actions to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, noting that the president ensured “the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism remains incapable of acquiring a nuclear weapon.”
The ceasefire, announced by Trump on June 23, 2025, followed intense hostilities that began with Israel’s preemptive strike on June 13, targeting Iran’s advancing nuclear program. The conflict escalated with missile exchanges and U.S. airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities, supported by Trump’s administration. Despite the agreement, tensions persisted, with Israel accusing Iran of violating the truce on June 24, a claim Tehran denied. Trump expressed frustration, stating, “We have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f--k they’re doing,” urging both sides to adhere to the ceasefire.
This marks Trump’s latest Nobel nomination, following earlier ones for efforts like the Abraham Accords and his 2024 electoral victory’s global impact. With 338 candidates for the 2025 prize, the Nobel Committee’s historically left-leaning stance makes a win unlikely. Carter’s nomination also aligns with his vocal support for Trump, including symbolic legislative proposals. The ceasefire’s fragility, coupled with Iran’s reported plans to rebuild its nuclear program, underscores the challenges ahead. Still, Trump’s intervention, backed by U.S. military support and diplomatic pressure, has been hailed by allies like Sen. Katie Britt, who said, “Trump deserves to win the Nobel Peace Prize for the historic deals he’s made across the Middle East and world.”
