Rep. Buddy Carter says president prevented war, calls his actions โhistoricโ in push for 2025 prize
Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) who credited U.S. President Donald Trump with brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and halting what could have escalated into a broader regional war, has nominated the commander in chief for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
In a formal letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, Carter praised Trump for his “extraordinary and historic role” in helping bring about the end of what Trump referred to as the “12 Day War,” according to Fox News.
Carter said the ceasefire “prevented the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet.”
Israel pounded Iran with widespread airstrikes for nearly two weeks, after its well-sourced and embedded intelligence services detected the Islamic Republic ramping up uranium enrichment.
Israel’s attacks were responded to with ballistic missile volleys launched at its civilian homefront, and culminated in U.S. airstrikes over the weekend that targeted three of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
On Monday, Iran launched retaliatory rockets at a U.S. airbase in Qatar, but gave advance notice and caused no injuries.
Trump announced the ceasefire late Monday, with the truce set to take effect Tuesday.
According to Carter, Trump’s efforts to de-escalate tensions and intervene diplomatically played a decisive role in stopping further bloodshed.
