Believing problems and differences can be resolved with war is absurd, Pope Leo XIV said, chastising those who use God's name in their dark and deadly pursuits.
Pope Leo XIV called for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East and condemned the "atrocious violence" of the U.S.-Israeli-led war on Iran, which has spread across the region.

Pope Leo XIV called for an end to the war in Iran and warned that the conflict could drag more countries in the Middle East into instability.
