Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has questioned the credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize, given the 2025 winner’s open glorification of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a post on X, Araghchi said the Nobel Prize has long been manipulated as a political tool against non-Western governments.
“To many around the world, the Nobel Prize lost the credibility it’s meant to bestow long ago. The reason for this collapse is how the award has consistently been deployed as a tool to go after non-Western governments deemed “adversarial” to Western interests.”
“The awarding of the ‘PEACE’ prize this year to an individual agitating for WAR against her own country while hailing perpetrators of GENOCIDE & WAR CRIMES in Palestine has vastly expanded that notion,” Araghchi said.

María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan politician notorious for advocating American and Israeli military intervention in her country, has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
Venezuelan opposition figure Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel recipient, has boasted of a phone call with Netanyahu, during which she voiced support for Israel’s campaign of genocide in Gaza, and labeled resistance movements such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and Ansarullah as “terrorists.”
She has also previously called for US military intervention in Venezuela under plans advanced by Donald Trump.
Netanyahu has been formally accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC), and all the 125 member states of the court are obliged to arrest him upon entering their territory.
