Rep. Buddy Carter nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, sending his letter to the Nobel Committee on Tuesday. The letter praised Trump\u2019s \u201cextraordinary and historic role\u201d in ending what people are calling the 12-Day War between Israel and Iran.<\/p>\n
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\u2019t stop?<\/p>\n
The 12-Day War and Ceasefire Details
\nThe war started when Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran. Israel claimed Tehran was dangerously close to getting nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

\nFor 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.<\/p>\n
Trump announced the war\u2019s 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\u2019d achieved their objectives of eliminating Iran\u2019s nuclear threat. For a few hours, it looked like another Trump peace deal was in the books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
