War/ Pope calls on US and Iran to return to peace negotiations

Pope Leo XIV has urged the US and Iran to continue peace talks aimed at ending the war, saying the conflict has left an entire population in Iran with innocent people suffering.

His comments come after a high-profile debate with US President Donald Trump, who has long attacked the Pope, a critic of the US-Israeli military operation in Iran.

"I would encourage the continuation of the dialogue for peace, that all parties make every effort to promote peace, to remove the threat of war and to respect international law," the Pope declared.

"As a pastor, I cannot be pro-war and I would like to encourage everyone to make an effort to seek answers that come from a culture of peace, not a culture of hatred and division."

He also revealed that he carries with him a photograph of a Muslim child in Lebanon, who was photographed holding a "Welcome Pope Leo" sign during his visit to the country last year.

"In this final phase of the war he was killed," the Pope said./ CNA
