Former President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Iran, sparking global debate.
Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for Middle East Ceasefire Efforts
In a surprising turn on the global political stage, Donald Trump has been officially nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. The nomination was submitted by U.S. Representative Buddy Carter, who praised the former president’s role in brokering a ceasefire between Iran and Israel during the conflict now being referred to as the 12-Day War.
Carter described Trump’s actions as “extraordinary and historic,” highlighting his efforts to prevent the conflict from escalating into a broader regional war. Trump reportedly played a behind-the-scenes role in urging a pause to hostilities after Israel carried out strategic strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Peace—or Pause? Critics Weigh In
While the nomination has been met with praise from some conservative lawmakers and supporters of the former president, critics argue the ceasefire was short-lived. Just days after the announcement, both nations resumed limited missile activity, raising concerns about the stability and long-term impact of Trump’s intervention.
Despite this, Carter insisted the effort reflected strong leadership and a “commitment to peace in one of the most volatile regions of the world.”
“President Trump has shown time and time again that he is willing to take bold steps to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of dangerous regimes,” Carter said in his letter.
A Pattern of Recognition Attempts
This is not Trump’s first brush with a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. In previous years, he received nods for his involvement in peace deals between Israel and several Arab nations under the Abraham Accords. However, none resulted in an award.
The Nobel Committee typically rewards sustained and verifiable peace efforts, making it uncertain whether a brief ceasefire—no matter how impactful—will meet the threshold for the prestigious prize.
Trump Reacts
Donald Trump responded to the nomination on social media, calling it “a great honor” and “long overdue.” He also criticized the media for underreporting his past peace achievements, saying, “Obama got it for doing nothing—I’ve actually done something.”
Looking Ahead
The Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced in early 2025, with final selections made by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Whether Trump’s recent efforts will carry enough weight to earn the title remains to be seen.
Still, the nomination has sparked renewed debate over what qualifies as “peace” in modern diplomacy—and whether temporary ceasefires in global hotspots should be recognized on the world stage.
