Pope slams Trump for ‘unacceptable’ threats against Iran Pope Leo has criticised Donald Trump for his existential threats against Iran hours before the US president’s deadline. “Today, as we all know, there was this threat against all the people of Iran. This is truly unacceptable,” he said as he left his country house in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, south of Rome. Pope Leo, the head of the global Catholic Church, was referring to Trump’s post where he said “a whole civilization will die” if Iran doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz. Pope Leo, who has emerged as an outspoken critic of the Iran war, called on people across the world to contact their political representatives and ask them to bring the expanding regional conflict to an end. Earlier today, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops released a statement calling for Trump to “step back from the precipice of war and negotiate a just settlement for the sake of peace”. |

I don't like Trump for one thing, though. He talks too much and doesn't back much of his blabs with action. Give Netanyahu his position and the whole of Iran would have been flat by now. Man keeps issuing ultimatums and doing nothing much to show for it. Not saying he's not trying but his talks are much more than his actions. He's a wuss, to be fairly honest. 1 Like |

Multiple Iranian media outlets carried the statement. It also issued a new threat to the Gulf Arab states. “We have exercised great restraint and had considerations in choosing retaliatory targets, but from now on all these considerations have been removed,” the warning read. |
