Pope Leo XIV has issued a direct warning after President Trump threatened that “a whole civilization will die” if Iran does not meet U.S. demands.

Calling the statement “truly unacceptable,” the Pope made clear that targeting civilian populations or infrastructure violates international law and risks catastrophic human consequences. He urged Americans to contact their leaders and demand a shift away from escalation.

This comes as tensions in the region continue to rise, with warnings that further threats could deepen instability and put innocent lives at risk.

We are calling on Congress and U.S. leaders and President Trump to reject threats against civilian populations, reaffirm international law, and pursue immediate diplomatic solutions.

Sign to stand with Pope Leo XIV!
