- Pope Leo XIV. called news from Iran and the Middle East troubling.
- The Pope called for an end to violence and renewed efforts at dialogue.
The head of the Catholic Church said the ongoing conflict was fueling fear and hatred and raised fears it could spread further to other countries, including “dear Lebanon”. “Let us offer up a humble prayer to the Lord that the roar of the bombs will be silenced, that the weapons will fall silent and that a space for dialogue will be opened in which the voices of the nations can be heard,” remarked Leo XIV.
The war in the Middle East was sparked by the Israeli-American attack on Iran last week on Saturday. The conflict has been going on for nine days now, and attacks are regularly reported by other countries of the Persian Gulf.
