Pope Leo XIV's Ceasefire Plea in Middle East War

Pope Francis, the first American pope, issues a strong call for a ceasefire in the Middle East war, directly appealing to leaders in Iran to halt violence and reopen talks for justice and peace. He highlights the tragic missile strike on an elementary school in Minab, Iran, which killed over 165 people, many of them children. The Vatican emphasizes the plight of Christian communities in southern Lebanon and urges those with responsibility in armed conflicts to seek confession for peace. Top Vatican officials, like Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, dismiss the idea of a preventive war and stress ongoing talks with the US, Israel, and others to find solutions.
