Trump nominated for 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for historic Israel-Iran ceasefire

(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Donald Trump Nobel Peace Prize Nomination Withdrawn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A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn it, as peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow slip under the radar and the president keeps his sights fixed on the Middle East.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."

1. He created the situation in the first place by walking away from the Biden/Iran nuclear agreement.

[vanessa_ca]

8. Start a war. Ceasefire a war. Declare peace. Get nominated for Nobel Peace Prize. Speed RUN! -eom

[EndlessWire]

14. You are correct.

But, you left out the part where he lies about the ceasefire. Iran denied the ceasefire, but rump claimed a ceasefire, anyway.

He's such an embarrassment.

[vanessa_ca]

15. Rec'd but I don't think he deliberately lied. I think he got played by Israel and got ahead of himself

by prematurely announcing a ceasefire before either party was officially confirmed on board. And I think that's exactly what Netanyahu was banking on because Netanyahu had just gotten off a call with him where they came up with that concept of a ceasefire. And that he was expecting Trump to play along when Israel would later accuse Iran of breaking the ceasefire. What a shock for Bibi when Trump went apoplectic instead.

Don't put any money on that. It's just my unprofessional analysis.

[EndlessWire]

19. Seems like a good

conclusion on your part. An excuse to continue to make war for Bibi, while rump gets to whine about the Nobel Peace Prize. He really thinks those Nobel committee members are stupid. If I were a Nobel winner, I'd send them a letter politely informing them that if rump won, I'd send mine back. I'd take a lot of pictures of it, of course, but that's how upset I am. He would render it meaningless.

ETTD.

20. He gets played by most everyone!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. Either way, this has to be a joke.

[vanessa_ca]

5. See post #4. It's a joke alright, but a real joke -eom

[larwdem]

3. is this real?

[vanessa_ca]

4. I'd ask too. Yes, it's real. Other links

33. Buddy Carter last February...

“Congressman Buddy Carter of Georgia just introduced a bill authorizing Trump to acquire Greenland and rename it Red, White and Blueland.”

‘Nuff said.

[ananda]

6. So anyone can nominate?

Well, that's interesting.

[tanyev]

12. Anyone can send a letter to the committee, at any rate.

I doubt that’s the same thing as a serious nominee with a serious chance of winning.

[ananda]

17. I feel sorry for the ones who have to choose the winner.

I see an endless series of threats and bribes in their future.

And more truly bizarre and insane antics from Trump's
totally misguided efforts to win. I guess that part
could be entertaining, as long as it doesn't result in
nuclear war.

27. Nominations are accepted from the following people and groups:

According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is considered valid if it is submitted by a person who falls within one of the following categories, a personal application for an award will not be considered:

Members of national assemblies and national governments (cabinet members/ministers) of sovereign states as well as current heads of state
Members of The International Court of Justice in The Hague and The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague
Members of l’Institut de Droit International
Members of the International Board of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion; university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents); directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Members of the main board of directors or its equivalent of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (proposals by current members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after 1 February)
Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee

https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/peace/

A member of the US Congress is therefore a valid nominator. 338 candidates have been nominated for the 2025 award, of which 244 are individuals and 94 are organizations. The nomination deadline for the the 2025 award was January 31, so I guess Krasnov's nomination by the suck-up congressman would be for 2026. Not that he has a snowball's chance in Hell of convincing the five committee members nominated by the Norwegian parliament. He's about as popular as a case of hemorrhoids in Scandinavia, and I don't expect him to become any more beloved by next January.

7. "GOP lawmaker"

Figures.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

21. ROFL -- I figured Trump would nominate himself. Perhaps he "strongly" encouraged the GOP lawmaker

[Grins]

32. Not a bad guess. He nominated himself the last time he tried. NM

[Lovie777]

9. Bull..............

[JoseBalow]

10. Anyone can nominate anyone

Beats actually blowing him

[patphil]

11. Buddy Carter is a Georgia State Senator.

He jumped on the bandwagon a bit early, It seems that the cease fire has itself been ceased.
You can bet the conflict that has been going on for over 75 years isn't going to end because a wannabe dictator insists it must so he can look like a hero and get the Nobel Prize he so covets.
Oh, and one more thing. They don't normally give prizes for people who try to dictate peace by way of dropping bombs on one of the combatants.

[CatWoman]

13. yep

Ah yes, Buddy Carter, one of the swampiest features of Savannah, Georgia, the last place I lived in the U.S., a state so run into the ground by spineless, soulless & crooked GOP electeds that I lost all hope for my survival if I stuck around & left with very little hope for the country's survival.

29. Carter is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives (nt)

[patphil]

35. My mistake, thank you. What I saw was his previous office, and I thought it was his current office.

[global1]

30. Buddy Carter Has No Business Being A Congressman....

He's a big dumb fraud. I met him at a pharmacy meeting in Washington DC. He is/was a pharmacist - that's why he was at this meeting.

He couldn't answer a single political question. I really don't know how he got elected. I can't believe anyone would vote for him.

It's got to be gerrymandering that got him in office and is keeping him there.
He's as dumb as a stump.

Birds of a feather....

[DFW]

16. Give all these people maps of the world with the countries' names left off

My bet is that neither Trump nor the people nominating him could find Israel, Iran, Pakistan, India, or the Ukraine if their lives depended on it. They could probably find Russia for no other reason than it's the biggest piece of real estate on the planet. Great, so give them a merit badge.

[Paladin]

18. Blow it our your ass, Buddy Carter. (nt)

[Johonny]

22. Too be fair, Melanie says the cease fire lasted longer

[GenThePerservering]

23. Anyone can nominate

all that yak-yak is meaningless.

I'm gonna try to get a nomination because I stopped the ongoing aggression of the neighborcat against our tuxedo with nothing more lethal than a water pistol.

[Emile]

25. Is this an Onion article?

[Hassler]

26. The Nobel Committee needs some laughter

Nominating TACO will bring it.

28. TH$IS is his entire mid east policy. GET ME A NOBEL PRIZE

31. There are 2-300 nominations a year. n/t

34. More like Nobel POS Prize

[AStern]

36. His actions in Los Angeles and around the country with ICE will cancel out anything related to Iran.

He's a heartless ghoul.
