Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to Anadolu Agency, Pope Leo XIV stated in a speech that the US and Zionist war against Iran is not a "just war."
During his fourth foreign trip, in an interview with reporters on a flight from Rome to Madrid, he emphasized in response to a question about the position of US Vice President JD Vance in defense of the US-Zionist aggression against Tehran: "There was no just war there. The problem is that the theory of a just war dates back centuries, from a time when people could not imagine the weapons and destructive capabilities that exist today."
The issue came after US Vice President J.D. Vance invoked the “just war” theory to defend military aggression against Iran.
As the US-Zionist axis continued to escalate tensions against Iran in recent months, Pope Leo has repeatedly called for an end to the war and criticized rhetoric that he said could further escalate tensions.
Earlier this year, he described Trump’s threat that “no civilization will remain in Iran” as “unacceptable.” Trump later responded by describing the pope as “weak and terrible at foreign policy.” The pope rejected the criticism, saying he was not afraid and would continue to speak out against the war.
