Arabic version: البابا ليو ينتقد تهديدات ترامب ضد حضارة إيران

Pope Leo condemned Donald Trump’s threats that Iran’s “civilisation will die” if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, calling the US president’s remarks “unacceptable”.

The comments come hours before Trump’s deadline, after which he has threatened strikes on Iranian power plants if no deal is reached. The escalating rhetoric has raised concerns about the stability in the Middle East.

According to Al Jazeera, the Pope’s remarks reflect a broader discontent with aggressive foreign policy tactics that threaten civilian lives and cultural heritage.

The situation remains tense as diplomatic efforts continue, with many hoping for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict. The international community is closely monitoring developments as the deadline approaches.
