Hunter Biden once again took aim at President Donald Trump on Wednesday, this time withdrawing a sarcastic Nobel Peace Prize nomination after Trump declared the fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire over.
Mock Nomination Goes Viral
Last week, the son of former President Joe Biden posted a tongue-in-cheek message on X, jokingly nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. In the post, Biden wrote: "No President in History has ended the same war so many times. Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count. No President has ever done this before. And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
The post mocked Trump's repeated claims of ending conflicts, and while only certain individuals are eligible to submit formal Nobel nominations, Biden's post gained widespread attention.
Ceasefire Reversal Prompts Withdrawal
The situation shifted when Trump, during a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, declared that the war with Iran—which he launched in February—was back on. Biden quickly responded on X: "OMG! You are not going to believe this. The war with Iran is NOT over. I’d like to withdraw my nomination."
The follow-up post rapidly gained traction online, racking up more than 1 million views within hours, according to platform metrics.
Context of the Iran Conflict
Trump's announcement marked a reversal of earlier claims that a ceasefire had been achieved. The war with Iran, initiated in February 2026, has been a contentious issue, with Trump previously boasting about ending it multiple times. Hunter Biden's posts highlight the perceived inconsistency in the president's statements.
