Washington, June 25, 2025 – U.S. President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel, according to a report by UK-based news outlet Politics. The nomination was put forward by Republican lawmaker Buddy Carter, who praised Trump’s diplomatic efforts in de-escalating the recent conflict between the two nations.
The ceasefire, announced on June 24, 2025, came after intense negotiations mediated by Trump, with assistance from Qatar, to halt the 12-day conflict that saw missile and drone strikes exchanged between Iran and Israel. In a statement on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump declared, “Congratulations to all! A full and complete ceasefire agreement has been reached between Israel and Iran.” He emphasized that both parties agreed to conclude ongoing operations within six hours, with the conflict formally ending after 12 hours, marking a significant step toward de-escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Carter’s nomination highlights Trump’s strategic diplomacy, which he claims prevented a broader regional conflict. This marks another instance of Trump being considered for the prestigious award, following Pakistan’s nomination of him for his role in averting a potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan earlier this year.
However, the nomination has sparked mixed reactions. While some praise Trump’s efforts, others, including critics on social media, argue that his involvement in other conflicts, such as supporting Israel’s actions in Gaza, undermines his candidacy. The Nobel Peace Prize committee has yet to comment on the nomination.
More details are expected as the situation develops.
