Pope Leo XIV has blasted the US and Israel’s joint strikes on Iran, warning that peace is not achieved with weapons and suffering.
“I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue,” American-born Pope Leo XIV wrote Sunday.
