Pope Leo Condemns Trump Threats As Ceasefire Announced. Pope Leo XIV condemned threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to strike Iranian civilian infrastructure. The Pope called Trump’s warning that “a whole civilization will die tonight” “truly unacceptable”. He urged global leaders to pursue peace and return to negotiations to end the conflict. Leo stressed that attacks on civilian infrastructure violate international law and increase human suffering. He highlighted the impact on vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly and the sick. The White House defended Trump’s stance, saying action was aimed at protecting civilians from threats. Religious leaders, including U.S. Catholic bishops, also criticised the escalation and called for diplomacy. Trump later announced a two-week ceasefire, raising hopes for a potential de-escalation.
