Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for brokering a "historic" ceasefire between Israel and Iran [View all]
Trump nominated for 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for historic Israel-Iran ceasefire
by RYAN MINNAUGH | The National News Desk Tue, June 24th 2025 at 1:33 PM
(TNND) — President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary and historic role” in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
In a letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, Representative Buddy Carter of Georgia wrote, "President Trump's influence was instrumental in forging a swift agreement that many believed to be impossible. President Trump also took bold, decisive actions to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions and ensure that the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism remains incapable of acquiring a nuclear weapon.”
The “12 Day War” as the White House is calling it ended just over a week after Israel first launched a strike against Iran, saying they were dangerously close to obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Donald Trump Nobel Peace Prize Nomination Withdrawn
Published Jun 24, 2025 at 6:08 AM EDT
A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn it, as peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow slip under the radar and the president keeps his sights fixed on the Middle East.
Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of Ukraine's parliamentary foreign committee, told Newsweek on Tuesday he had "lost any sort of faith and belief" in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv.

Pakistan's government said on Friday it would formally recommend Trump for next year's Nobel Peace Prize because of what it called the president's "decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership" during a recent spate of violence between Pakistan and India. India has played down Trump's role in ceasefire talks.
Trump is a "genuine peacemaker," Pakistan said, lauding his "commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue."
