Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday hailed a deal on ending the Middle East war announced between Iran and the United States as the result of “encouraging work in dialogue and negotiation”.
The United States and Iran agreed this week to a deal to end the conflict, and Leo expressed his “gratitude” to those who helped the negotiations.
“I hope that this agreement will contribute to strengthening mutual trust, security, and stability in the Middle East by promoting paths of dialogue and cooperation between peoples,” Leo said during his weekly audience at the Vatican.
