Pope Leo makes grim 2-word statement on Donald Trump amid horrifying Iran threat

Donald Trump drew backlash after making a stark warning about Iran before a ceasefire was reached Tuesday. The temporary two-week truce eased fears of wider conflict, with both sides later claiming progress toward broader talks.

Before the deal, Pope Leo XIV urged world leaders to reject violence and return to diplomacy, warning that more war would only deepen hatred and suffering. His comments added to growing international calls for restraint and a peaceful solution.
