Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize Over Iran–Israel Ceasefire Role

U.S. President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, just hours after helping mediate a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel.

The nomination came from Republican Congressman Buddy Carter, who praised President Trump’s “extraordinary and historic” role in preventing further escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. In his official letter to the Nobel Committee, Carter said that Trump’s direct involvement was essential to reaching a ceasefire deal, adding that many had believed such an outcome was impossible.

The Iran-Israel conflict had intensified earlier this month, with Israeli strikes on suspected Iranian nuclear sites followed by Iranian missile retaliation. Tensions rose quickly, prompting global concern over a potential full-scale war. According to multiple sources, President Trump worked behind the scenes through diplomatic channels, and with the help of U.S. allies such as Qatar, succeeded in bringing both nations to the table.

On the night of June 23, President Trump announced that a ceasefire had been agreed upon. The truce officially went into effect today, June 24. While some reports have suggested that there were minor violations after the agreement, both Iran and Israel have largely held to the terms so far.

This is not the first time Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. He received previous nominations during and after his first term in office, mostly for his involvement in various international peace efforts. However, this latest nomination has already sparked renewed debate and international media attention due to the urgency and impact of the ceasefire.

President Trump, reacting to the news, said he does not expect to win the prize but appreciates the recognition. The Nobel Committee will review all nominations in the coming months, with the winner set to be announced in October.

Whether Trump receives the award or not, his role in easing tensions between Iran and Israel has become a major headline around the world—shaping the narrative of U.S. diplomacy in 2025.
