Pope Leo pushes Trump to find an off-ramp for the war in Iran

The first American Pope has not shied away from making comments that could be perceived as political, but this week Pope Leo weighed in on the American president by name for the first time. The pontiff spoke to CNN's Vatican Correspondent Christopher Lamb & urged President Trump to search for an off-ramp in the war in Iran. He said an end to the war would be "a significant contribution to removing the hatred that is being created and increasing constantly, in the Middle East and elsewhere."

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 27: U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi speaks alongside President Donald Trump on recent Supreme Court rulings in the briefing room at the White House on June 27, 2025 in Washington, DC. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that individual judges cannot grant nationwide injunctions to block executive orders, including the injunction on President Trump’s effort to eliminate birthright citizenship in the U.S. The justices did not rule on Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship but stopped his order from taking effect for 30 days.
