(TNND) — President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary and historic role” in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

In order to become a Nobel Prize laureate you must first be nominated for a prize by an eligible nominator. Self-nomination is not allowed. Except for the Nobel Peace Prize, nomination is by invitation only and nominators must fulfil the criteria set out by the awarding institutions.

Both countries remain close allies and formed alliances in a number of areas of mutual interest, such as combating the drug trade along their border and the insurgency in Balochistan. Pakistan is one of the few countries where Iranian influence is positively received as per polls conducted by the Pew Research Center.
