Why It Matters

U.S. President Trump emphasized on the 7th that he should be awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, but he also admitted that he was not sure about the chances of winning.

Reuters reported that when talking about the Norwegian Nobel Committee (Norwegian Nobel Committee) will announce the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner on the 9th, Trump said: "I don't know what decision they will make."

He continued: "Their reputation is that they may not give the award to someone like me." Reuters pointed out that since returning to the White House last year, Trump has repeatedly stated that he is worthy of receiving what may be the world's most prestigious award.

"It's about time," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "But the last time, I received this award indirectly through the recipient, and I was very honored," he said. "No one in history is more deserving of this award than President Trump."

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado gave Trump her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal in January as she sought U.S. support for her actions in Venezuela.

Trump said he should win the Nobel Peace Prize because he has intervened in eight conflicts since taking office in January last year. It is reported that the leaders of Cambodia, Israel and Pakistan have stated that they nominated Trump, but Reuters was unable to verify this.

Trump has claimed to have defused some of the conflicts, but some parties to them have questioned his diplomatic role and fighting has resumed in several areas, including in the Democratic Republic of Congo and on the Cambodian-Thailand border.

Reuters pointed out that Trump has still failed to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war. He had promised to end the war on the first day of his second term in the White House. The attack by the United States and Israel on Iran triggered a conflict that has lasted seven months, disrupting global energy supplies and pushing up gasoline prices before the U.S. midterm elections in November.

According to reports, Catholic Pope Leo XIV, the International Criminal Court (ICC), and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories are all popular candidates for this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

Rubio: Iran has completely lost control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran: Will close the "illegal waterway"

U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said Iran had completely lost control of the Strait of Hormuz, saying the strait was open and oil outflows were close to pre-conflict levels. Naqdi, adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, said that a few illegal waterways will be closed and accused some people of using small boats to smuggle oil. Maritime security sources said attacks on tankers last week reached the highest level since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iraq.

The conflict in Yemen continues to escalate, with dozens of Saudi casualties and Houthi missile facilities destroyed

Yemen's Houthi armed forces said that Saudi Arabia launched 156 air and missile attacks on Yemen in the past 24 hours. The Houthi armed forces used ballistic missiles and drones to attack Saudi Arabia's Riyadh and Abha international airports and military bases. The Saudi General Civil Aviation Authority confirmed that three people were killed and 36 injured in attacks on two airports from the 6th to the 7th. The Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed a Houthi armed ballistic missile launch platform in the Yemeni capital Sanaa. The Pakistani military has carried out multi-field defense cooperation in Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye currently has no intention of setting up a military base in Saudi Arabia. Experts warn that the continued escalation of conflicts may exacerbate regional security crises and spillover risks cannot be ignored.
