Fresh controversy erupts as Donald Trump launches a sharp attack on Pope Leo over his stance on nuclear weapons and the ongoing Middle East conflict. Trump criticized the Pope, calling him “very liberal” and expressing strong disapproval of his views. The remarks came after Pope Leo condemned what he described as a “delusion of omnipotence” driving the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, urging global leaders to halt escalation and pursue peace through dialogue. The Pope’s comments were made during a prayer service at St. Peter's Basilica, coinciding with rare face-to-face negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad amid a fragile ceasefire.
