TEHRAN - It has been reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his American counterpart John Kerry might be nominated to receive 2016 Nobel Peace Prize, Iran Daily news website reported Monday.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a leading Swedish think-tank, recommended in July that the two be selected for the Nobel in 2016, the Washington Free Beacon website said then.

The Nobel Prize speculation comes after months of reports describing warmth and comfort between the American and Iranian teams that sealed the final Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, it said.

The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the Nobel Prizes created by the Swedish industrialist, inventor, and armaments manufacturer Alfred Nobel, along with the prizes in chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, and literature.
