Pope Leo urges Trump to find 'off-ramp' to end Iran war
- On Tuesday, Pope Leo XIV urged President Donald Trump to find an "off-ramp" to end the Iran war, marking a rare direct appeal from the pontiff as regional conflict expands.
- The month-long Iran conflict, triggered by joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on February 28, has killed thousands and disrupted energy supplies, threatening to send the global economy into a tailspin.
- Leo criticized leaders who start wars, stating God rejects prayers from those with "hands full of blood." He urged all world leaders to "come back to the table" for dialogue.
- The Pope announced he will personally carry the Cross during the traditional Friday Stations of the Cross, expressing hope that a truce might be observed for Easter.
- While the Pope noted President Trump recently stated he would like to end the war, he emphasized that many continue to promote violence and hatred in the Middle East and elsewhere.
