US President Donald Trump was officially nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in conveying a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and ending what he described as a “12 -day war”.
Representative Buddy Carter (R-G.) On Tuesday, June 24, presented the nomination and appreciated Trump’s “extraordinary and historical role” in the refusal of the crisis.
“The influence of President Trump was helpful in creating a quick agreement that many thought it was impossible,” Carter wrote in his letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
Carter quotes Trump’s attitude against Iranian nuclear threat
In his letter, Carter emphasized Trump’s leadership not only in the stopping of the conflict, but also in the confrontation of Iranian nuclear ambitions.
“President Trump also took courageous and decisive steps to stop Iranian nuclear ambitions and ensure that the largest terrorism sponsor in the world remain unable to obtain a nuclear weapon,” he said.
“Courage and clarity in the volatility”
Congressman described Trump’s treatment of increasing conflict as the embodiment of the ideals of the Nobel Peace Prize itself.
“His leadership through the crisis is an example of the ideals that the Nobel Peace Prize is trying to recognize: persecution of peace, prevention of war and progress of international harmony.”
Carter appreciated the President for showing “courage and clarity” in what he called a breakthrough in the historically unstable region.
“President Trump showed both and offered the world a rare view of hope.”
Closed the nomination with a formal recommendation:
“For these reasons, I will present this nomination for Donald J. Trump, 47 of the United States to be considered at the price of Nobel Peace.”
The timeline of the conflict and the ceasefire
The conflict of Israel and Iran began more than a week ago when Israel launched a preventive strike against Iran and quoted the immediate threat of the Tehran nuclear program. The event launched the days of missile exchange between the two nations.
At the weekend, the United States joined the disintegration and carried out air strikes at three Iranian nuclear places and escalated concerns about the wider war.
On Monday (June 23) Iran retaliated by launching missiles at the US military base in Qatar. However, officials later confirmed that Tehran had announced the US and Qatari authorities. No injuries were reported.
Later on Monday, Trump announced a 12 -hour ceasefire, which was ready to start overnight on Tuesday, June 24, and said the war “ends”.
