Trump calls on Pope Leo to address protest deaths in Iran
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Pope Leo should be told Iran had killed at least 42,000 unarmed protesters recently and that Tehran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear bomb.
Trump made the remarks in a post on Truth Social as his public clash with the pope over the Iran war continued.
“Will someone please tell Pope Leo that Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed, protesters in the last two months, and that for Iran to have a Nuclear Bomb is absolutely unacceptable,” Trump wrote.
The post came after Pope Leo criticized the war and called for peace, drawing criticism from Trump.
