Nournews: During his first term, Trump laid the foundations of regional distrust and crisis by withdrawing from the JCPOA and imposing crippling sanctions. The Iranian people’s access to medicine, food, and basic necessities was severely affected. In his second term, he intensified the same path, this time with overt military support and a green light for Israel’s actions. The result was clear: new conflicts erupted and the crisis expanded regionally and globally. Trump’s maximum pressure policy was not peacemaking; it became a catalyst for fresh tensions.
The 12-Day War: With Washington’s green light
Trump recently portrayed himself as an ender of wars, but reality contradicts this claim. Israel, with Trump’s direct green light, launched a major attack on Iran, triggering the 12-day war. The bombing of Fordow and Natanz by the Pentagon under his direct orders brought the region to the brink of explosion. Only Iran’s decisive response and security calculations to save Israel from catastrophe led to a ceasefire. Trump was not a war-ender but a clear partner in aggression and crisis. This record shows that his Nobel claim is a blatant distortion of facts.
Attack on Doha: Collusion in aggression
Another controversial aspect of Trump’s policy was his role in Israel’s attack on Doha, the capital of Qatar. This action, coordinated directly with Washington and facilitated by Trump’s disregard for diplomatic principles, targeted a third country. Not only was it a violation of international law, but it also had wide-ranging security consequences for the region. Trump played an active role, and through clear collusion, paved the way for aggression—directly contradicting his peace rhetoric.
Trump: Partner in genocide and destruction
Trump’s claim to peacemaking is most clearly refuted in Gaza. By sending weapons and providing political support to Israel, he is a direct partner in the killing of over 65,000 Palestinians, including more than 20,000 children. Hospitals, schools, and camps were destroyed, leaving millions of civilians defenseless. Trump’s silence and full cooperation with Israel provide clear evidence of his complicity in genocide. His record in Gaza is not only alien to peace but also a dark stain on contemporary history.
The Nobel: A prize for truth, not delusion
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to those who stand against violence and injustice. Names like Nelson Mandela and Malala Yousafzai symbolize courage and resistance in the face of oppression. Yet Trump, through withdrawal from agreements, sanctions, green-lighting aggression, assassinating anti-terror commanders, and siding with genocide, has done more than anyone to foster instability. His claim to the Nobel is nothing but a bitter joke—a joke that exposes how warmongering politicians attempt to rewrite global memory.
