Nobel Peace Prize Nomination for Trump Amid Israel-Iran Truce Efforts

Rep. Buddy Carter nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, sending his letter to the Nobel Committee on Tuesday. The letter praised Trump’s “extraordinary and historic role” in ending what people are calling the 12-Day War between Israel and Iran.

As Carter was typing up his glowing recommendation, missiles kept flying between the two countries, and the ceasefire Trump had announced was already collapsing. It raises a question about peace prizes and broken truces. Can you win an award for stopping a war that didn’t stop?

The 12-Day War and Ceasefire Details
The war started when Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran. Israel claimed Tehran was dangerously close to getting nuclear weapons.

For over a week, the two countries traded rocket fire back and forth. Then the U.S. joined in. They struck three Iranian nuclear facilities in what officials called the largest B-2 strike in U.S. history.

Trump announced the war’s end late Monday afternoon, with a ceasefire meant to go into effect overnight Tuesday. Israeli officials thanked Trump and the United States for their support. They said they’d achieved their objectives of eliminating Iran’s nuclear threat. For a few hours, it looked like another Trump peace deal was in the books.

The terms seemed straightforward enough. Both sides would stop shooting at each other, Israel would halt its attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, and Iran would stop launching ballistic missiles at Israeli cities.

Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize Too Soon
Carter’s letter praised Trump for ‘preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet. He wrote that Trump’s influence was “instrumental in forging a swift agreement that many believed to be impossible.”

The timing created an awkward situation. Carter submitted this nomination on Tuesday, but within hours of the supposed ceasefire, Israel was already accusing Iran of breaking the agreement. Reports showed Iran had fired two ballistic missiles after the ceasefire should have taken effect so much for that swift agreement.

It’s like those premature “Mission Accomplished” banners, but with international diplomacy. Sometimes you’ve gotta wait to see if the mission stays accomplished before you start handing out the awards.
