Pope Leo Hails Iran-US MoU as Path to Peace

 

Pope Leo XIV answered questions from journalists on topics including the US war against Iran and his recent visit to Spain.

Asked about the recent agreement between Iran and the United States, the pope said “thank God, there is at least this memorandum that they will officially sign on Friday.”

“There will still be several points to be established,” he added, “but it is always better to do so through dialogue, through negotiation, rather than returning to war.”

The pope had on various occasions voiced his opposition to the US aggression on Iran, drawing anger from US President Donald Trump.
