Pope Leo Unfazed by Trump’s Iran Peace Appeal Attacks
Pope Leo XIV, the first US-born pontiff, has become a vocal opponent of the US-Israel war on Iran, asserting that the Vatican’s calls for peace stem from the Gospel. Undeterred by criticism from President Donald Trump, Pope Leo declared his intention to continue speaking out against war, advocating for dialogue and multilateralism to achieve just solutions. His stance against war and the “delusion of omnipotence” fueling it, along with previous critiques of Trump’s policies on Iran and immigration, have drawn sharp rebukes from the US President.
