Iranian Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi calls for Israel-Iran ceasefire - Time

Jun 19, 2025, 15:15 GMT+1

Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, currently outside Tehran, has called for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Iran and Israel, according to an exclusive message to Time magazine published on Thursday.

Mohammadi urged fellow Nobel laureates and human rights organizations to unite in advocating for peace, saying the conflict has already caused "devastating" destruction and forced millions of Iranians from their homes.

"The scale of destruction already resembles that of a months-long conflict," Mohammadi wrote.

"Let us rise together to form a united, global front for the right to peace. The scope of war expands by the day. Its fire will not remain confined to the lands directly involved—it will cross borders and engulf the entire world."
