Donald Trump threatened to wipe out “a whole civilization” before the ceasefire between the U.S and Iran was reached Tuesday evening. It made Pope Leo XIV furious, prompting him to issue a grim statement about the U.S. President.
The war in Iran had been ongoing for more than a month before the diplomatic progress on Tuesday night. The U.S. and Iran finally came to their senses, reaching a deal for a two-week ceasefire shortly before Trump’s deadline.
Afterward, both countries proclaimed victory. President Trump shared that he had agreed to a ceasefire, but only as Iran now commits to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He described Iran’s 10-point proposal as “a workable basis for negotiations.”
