Pope Leo XIV affirmed that "the situation between Iran and Israel has seriously deteriorated, so " I renew the appeal for responsibility and reason".
He added that the commitment to building a safer world, free from the nuclear threat, must be pursued through mutual respect and sincere dialogue, in order to establish a lasting peace based on justice, fraternity, and the common good."
He added, "No one should ever threaten the existence of another. It is the duty of all nations to support the cause of peace by initiating reconciliation processes and promoting solutions that ensure security and dignity for all."
