Pope Leo Calls Middle East War a 'Scandal to Humanity'

World Pope Leo has called the ongoing war in the Middle East a 'scandal to humanity'. The conflict, which involves US and Israeli forces against Iran, continues to bring death and suffering to the region. The Vatican leader urged for an immediate ceasefire during his weekly Angelus prayer, emphasizing the need for peace and an end to hostilities.

The war has had devastating effects on innocent civilians, with cities like Tehran experiencing destruction and chaos. Pope Leo stressed that the suffering of these defenceless victims affects the entire human family. He called upon the international community to persist in prayer for an end to violence and a pathway to peace.
