Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) has formally nominated President Donald Trump for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize following Trump’s role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. In a letter to the Nobel Committee, Carter credited Trump with ending the “12 Day War” and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He described Trump’s actions as “extraordinary and historic,” citing his influence in ending hostilities and fostering stability in a volatile region.
Trump’s Role in Halting Escalation
The ceasefire, declared late Monday, came after days of missile exchanges between Israel and Iran, as well as U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Trump’s public declaration that a truce would begin within hours helped defuse fears of a larger war. Carter emphasized that Trump’s leadership “exemplifies the very ideals” of the Nobel Prize, including the pursuit of peace and international harmony. Iran’s advance notice before its retaliatory strike, which caused no casualties, also highlighted the delicate balance Trump helped manage.
Not Trump’s First Nomination, But Most High-Stakes
This is not the first time Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but the stakes are higher this time due to the scale of the Middle East conflict. Trump previously received nominations for his efforts in international diplomacy, including the Abraham Accords.
However, the recent Israel-Iran conflict marks one of his most dramatic foreign policy interventions. Carter’s nomination comes amid reports that the ceasefire may be unraveling, with Israel accusing Iran of violations—claims Tehran denies.
