Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday hailed the ceasefire between the United States and Iran as a “sign of real hope”.
“I welcome with satisfaction, and as a sign of real hope, the announcement of an immediate two-week truce. Only by returning to negotiations can we reach the end of the war,” the Catholic leader said at the end of his weekly audience at the Vatican.
