"Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue."
"The Pope has sharply denounced Trump policies, including what he described as an effort to 'break apart' the U.S.-Europe alliance after Trump rebuked NATO allies while seeking an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, and criticized the administration's immigration crackdown, calling for immigrants to be treated with 'dignity.'"
"The U.S. and Israel launched 'major combat operations' in Iran overnight Friday into Saturday, aiming to degrade the country's military capabilities and potentially foster regime change after nuclear negotiations failed, with U.S. bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan later targeted by Iranian missiles."
The Pope has issued strong criticism of military approaches to conflict resolution, emphasizing that peace and stability depend on reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue rather than weapons or threats. This stance reflects broader papal opposition to Trump administration policies, including efforts to weaken the U.S.-Europe alliance, immigration crackdowns, and military operations. The Pope has also engaged diplomatically with Cuba's foreign minister at the Vatican. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Israel conducted major combat operations against Iran to degrade military capabilities following failed nuclear negotiations, with Iranian missiles subsequently targeting U.S. bases across the Middle East. The former Iranian crown prince, in exile, characterized these strikes as humanitarian intervention.
