'In a region plagued by historical animosity and political volatility, such a breakthrough demands both courage and clarity. President Trump demonstrated both, offering the world a rare glimpse of hope'

President Donald Trump was nominated Tuesday for the Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary and historic role in brokering an end to 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."

The nomination came from U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., who submitted a letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in Oslo, Norway.

Carter stated in his letter: "In recent weeks, the world stood on the precipice of a dangerous and potentially region-destabilizing war. Yet in the face of this crisis, President Trump took bold action to ultimately champion peace through strength and facilitate a ceasefire framework that brought hostilities to a halt.

"In a statement that has since reverberated around the globe, President Trump announced the terms of a complete and total ceasefire agreement, commending both Israel and Iran for their courage to end the war.

"His message of mutual respect and peace will now result in a full cessation of military activity, no further escalation, and the preservation of thousands, if not millions, of lives throughout the Middle East and around the globe.

"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.

"His leadership at this moment exemplifies the very ideals that the Nobel Peace Prize seeks to recognize: 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. President Trump demonstrated both, offering the world a rare glimpse of hope."

Carter's nomination comes just hours after Israel accused Iran of breaking Monday night's Trump-brokered ceasefire agreement, which Tehran has denied.

"You know, when I say OK, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour just drop everything you have on them," Trump said. "So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because the one rocket that didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land, I'm not happy about that."

"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don't know what the f*** they are doing. Do you understand that?" Trump added.

This is not the first time Trump has been nominated, as Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., pushed the president's name for the award this year, noting his 2024 electoral victory had an "astonishingly effective impact" on world peace.

According to the Nobel Peace Prize website: "The Nobel Committee does not confirm the names of nominees, neither to the media nor to the candidates themselves. There are cases where names of candidates appear in the media, either as a result of sheer speculation or because individuals themselves report to have nominated specific candidates."
