Trump tapped for Nobel Prize over ‘extraordinary’ Israel, Iran ceasefire

President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a House lawmaker after brokering a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., wrote to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee praising Trump’s “extraordinary and historic role” in ending the armed conflict between the two countries.

The ceasefire, dubbed the “12 Day War,” was announced by Trump on Monday, putting an end to the hostilities that began when Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran. The conflict escalated with both countries exchanging rocket fire, and the U.S. intervening with airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Carter lauded Trump’s leadership in forging the ceasefire agreement, stating that his actions prevented Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and exemplified the pursuit of peace and international harmony. This nomination is not the first for Trump, as Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., had previously nominated him earlier this year.

The nomination comes amidst tensions in the Middle East, with Israel accusing Iran of violating the ceasefire agreement. Despite this, Carter remains steadfast in his support for Trump’s nomination, citing his decisive actions and bold leadership during the crisis.

In addition to his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, Carter, who is also running for Senate in Georgia, has introduced several bills in support of Trump. These bills, while largely symbolic, showcase Carter’s unwavering support for the President.

As the situation in the Middle East remains fragile, Carter’s nomination for Trump serves as a beacon of hope for lasting peace in the region. The nomination also highlights the ongoing efforts to recognize individuals who strive for peace and harmony on the global stage.
