Pope Leo Praises U.S.-Iran Ceasefire, Calls for Global Prayer Vigil
Pope Leo XIV has praised the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran, calling it a 'truce' and a sign of hope. Following President Trump's announcement of the ceasefire, the Pope invited the global community to join a prayer vigil at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City on April 11. The Pope, who has been a vocal critic of the conflict, emphasized the importance of returning to negotiations to end the war. He also condemned recent threats against Iran as 'unacceptable,' urging for peaceful resolutions.
