Iran-Israel Conflict: US President Donald Trump Receives Nobel Peace Prize Nomination For Ceasefire Deal
A House Republican has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize following his role in brokering a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran, according to Fox News.
Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., wrote to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, stating Trump had played an 'extraordinary and historic role' in ending 'the armed conflict between Israel and Iran and preventing the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet.'
Trump declared the '12 Day War' was ending late on Monday afternoon with a ceasefire that was scheduled to take effect overnight Tuesday, the report said.
The conflict concluded just over a week after Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran, with Israeli officials arguing Tehran was close to obtaining a nuclear weapon.
The two countries traded rocket fire over the following days. Over the weekend, the United States launched airstrikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities.
Iran responded by shooting rockets at a US air base in Qatar on Monday, but provided advance notice to US and Qatari officials. No injuries were reported in that attack.
'President Trump's influence was instrumental in forging a swift agreement that many believed to be impossible,' Carter wrote in his letter. '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.'
Carter said Trump's leadership through the crisis 'exemplifies the very ideals that the Nobel Peace Prize seeks to recognise: the pursuit of peace, the prevention of war, and the advancement of international harmony.'
'In a region plagued by historical animosity and political volatility, such a breakthrough demands both courage and clarity,' he added.
'President Trump demonstrated both, offering the world a rare glimpse of hope. For these reasons, I respectfully submit this nomination for Donald J. Trump, 47th President of the United States, to be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize,' Carter concluded.
This marks the second time Trump has been nominated for the prize during his current term.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., nominated Trump earlier this year, arguing his 2024 electoral victory had an 'astonishingly effective impact' on peace in the world, the report said.
According to the Nobel Prize website, 338 candidates have been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. Trump has previously been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize but has not won.
He also left the G7 summit early, stating there were matters 'much bigger' than the Iran ceasefire requiring his attention.

Trump: 'Iran Won't Be Building Bombs for a Long Time'
Email : Speaking at a NATO summit in The Hague, U.S. President Donald Trump praised Israel for its resilience following recent attacks and claimed that Iran's nuclear ambitions had been severely delayed due to recent American strikes. "Israel got hit very hard, especially in the last couple of days," Trump said. "Netanyahu should be very proud—they've really been great." He added confidently, 'Iran's not going to be building bombs for a long time. I think it was just a tremendous victory for everybody, including Iran.' However, Trump's optimistic remarks appear to contradict recent classified U.S. intelligence reports. According to sources familiar with the assessments, the strikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by a few months—not the long-term disruption Trump suggested. The comments come amid ongoing regional tensions and global concern over the escalation between Iran, Israel, and Western powers.

Trump Pushes Back On Pentagon Intel, Insists Iran Nuclear Sites 'Destroyed'
There are two apt sayings for this current situation facing the White House in the wake of the Trump-ordered bombings against Iran's nuclear facilities. First, what's worse in war-time decision-making than doing the wrong thing? Doing it incompletely . Second, it is always easy to begin a war, but very difficult to stop one . And so here President Trump and his top officials find themselves, defending the 'limited' strikes and proclaiming the destruction of Iran's nuclear program and enrichment capability in the face of a skeptical media. The escalation dialectic – which the mainstream media is so good at – begins… The heat is on an the NATO summit in The Hague, where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters, 'Of course we're doing a leak investigation with the FBI right now because this information is for internal purposes, battle damage assessments.' Referencing yesterday's leaked DIA report which strongly suggests Iran's nuclear program is 'mostly intact' – he continued, 'And CNN and others are trying to spin it to make the president look bad when this was an overwhelming success.' And Trump himself said, 'They really don't know.' And in response to the contrary intelligence, 'I think Israel is gonna be telling us very soon because [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] is going to have people Involved in that whole situation.' 'This was an unbelievable hit by genius pilots and genius people in the military, and they're not being given credit for it because we have scum that's in this room. And not all of you are… CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum. They're bad people. They're sick,' Trump said. 'And what they've done is they're trying to make this unbelievable victory into something less.' And here's Secretary of State Marco Rubio, somewhat hedging: '(Iran's nuclear) program today has been set behind significantly from where it was a week ago. It is in far worse shape today than it was a week ago because of US actions and because some of the actions Israelis took,' Rubio told Politico. 'So, the bottom line is they are much further away from a nuclear weapon today than they were before the president took this bold action,' he said, adding that 'very significant, substantial damage' was done to a 'variety of different components.' Iran has meanwhile admitted that nuclear sites are 'badly damaged' – perhaps in hopes of giving Trump what he wants in terms of PR to ensure the bombing will stop and ceasefire will hold; however, the Iranians have also vowed to pursue their nuclear energy program without interruption and that it remains a matter of national sovereignty. To review of the leaked DIA assessment, one official had told CNN: 'So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops.' The White House acknowledged the existence of the report marked top secret but said they disagreed with it. Trump, Rubio, and Hegseth are in Europe proclaiming the 'overwhelming success' of the strikes: Pete Hegseth: CNN and others are trying to spin this to make the President look bad when this was an overwhelming This is the New York Times. I call it the failing New York Times. It's going to hell. And CNN which very few people are watching.🤔 — Ron Smith (@Ronxyz00) June 25, 2025 So this appears yet another case of the White House disagreeing with its own intelligence community (IC) – in an ongoing awkward situation which has Iraq war vibes. However, without doubt the IC is still working on an overall consensus, based likely on several different intel threads, and across agencies. One obvious danger from the perspective of Western decision-makers (and Israel): if Iran was not intent on getting a bomb before, they likely are now – given their very existence is under threat. * * * More geopolitical developments and headlines via Newsquawk: US Secretary of State Rubio says US President Trump will buck Europe's pleas to ratchet up sanctions on Russia, adding that the US still wants room to negotiate a peace deal, according to Politico. US President Trump says NATO will be very strong, when asked about article 5, says 'we are with them all of the way'. Thinks the Iran-Israel ceasefire is good. Last thing Iran want to do is enrich (uranium), they want to recover. Thinks US will have a relationship with Iran. Asked if the US would strike Iran again if the nuclear programme is rebuilt, says 'sure' Progress is being made on Gaza. 'Al-Akhbar reported this morning from its sources that Houthi attacks in Yemen against Israel are expected to intensify and escalate in the coming days in response to the Israeli escalation in Gaza', via Kan's Kais on X. Iranian Parliament approves bill to suspend cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog, according to Nournews 'There have been no [US] sanctions lifted on Iran,' said Fox Business' Lawrence, in reference to President Trump's post suggesting China could continue to buy oil from Iran. A senior White House official added: 'The President was simply calling attention to the fact that because of his decisive actions to obliterate Iran's nuclear facilities and broker a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz will not be impacted, which would have been devastating for China. The President continues to call on China and all countries to import our state-of-the-art oil rather than import Iranian oil in violation of US sanctions. 'Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi said the nuclear programme continues, according to Al Arabiya. White House Middle East envoy Witkoff said the US and Israel had achieved their goals in Iran, according to Fox News. He described talks with Iran as encouraging and stated it was time to sit with Iran and make a comprehensive deal. Iran's Revolutionary Guards denied there was any drone attack in the northwestern city of Tabriz following reports air defences were activated in the area, according to Iranian news sites. Israel's representative to the UN Security Council stated that Iran had been involved in producing a nuclear bomb, according to Sky News Arabia. Israel's representative to the United Nations said that diplomatic talks with Iran will take place soon, according to Al Arabiya. US is set to open its embassy in Jerusalem on June 25th, following the ceasefire between Israel and Iran and the lifting of all restrictions by Israel's Home Front Command, according to a statement. Iran executed three men for allegedly working for Israel's spy agency Mossad, according to the Mizan News Agency.
