Pope Leo

Pope Leo said Tuesday that threats against the population of Iran are "unacceptable," in an appeal just hours after US President Donald Trump said in a social media post that "an entire civilization will be wiped out tonight," shocking world leaders.

“Today, as we all know, there was a threat to the entire people of Iran, and this is truly unacceptable,” said the Pope, who has emerged as an outspoken critic of the war on Iran. “Of course, there are issues of international law here, but even more than that, it is a moral issue for the good of the people (of the world),” he added.

It is rare for the Pope, who leads 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide, to respond directly to a world leader.

Pope Leo, also known for choosing his words carefully, has increased his criticism of the US-Israeli war against Iran in recent weeks.

The Pope made his first direct appeal to Trump last week, encouraging him to find a "way out" to end the conflict.

Speaking to reporters outside his residence in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, on Tuesday, Leo called on citizens around the world to contact their political representatives and ask them to bring an end to the widening regional conflict. “People want peace,” he said.

"I would invite citizens of all countries involved to contact authorities, political leaders, congressmen, to ask them to work for peace."

Leo also said that many people have called the conflict an "unjust war," using terminology to denote hostilities that violate the Catholic Church's strong pro-life teachings.

He urged people to "remember especially the innocent children, the elderly, the sick, and so many people who have already been or will become victims of this ongoing war."

The Pope also said that attacks on civilian infrastructure “are against international law.” Trump has threatened to destroy every bridge and power plant in Iran.
