“We have heard with deep sorrow the words coming from Donald Trump warning that an entire civilization—the population of Iran—could face total destruction. These threats are truly unacceptable. The idea that millions of innocent men, women, and children could be condemned to death under the pretext of national security is an affront to human dignity and a blasphemy against the Creator of life."

BREAKING: 🇻🇦 Pope Leo XIV: “We have heard with deep sorrow the words coming from Donald Trump warning that an entire civilization—the population of Iran—could face total destruction. These threats are truly unacceptable. The idea that millions of innocent men, women, and children could be condemned to death under the pretext of national security is an affront to human dignity and a blasphemy against the Creator of life. No nation has the moral right to erase an entire people from the map.”

"I don’t know how better to put this than to say Trump’s threat this morning to 'wipe out a whole civilization' of Iran puts America into a new immoral universe.

He is directly threatening a war crime."

Trump threatens a “whole civilization will die tonight."

This brings America into a new immoral universe

Robert Reich

"And every one of us is complicit in it, in the sense that this threat comes from the President of the United States, threatening to utilize our nation’s military power to exterminate an entire people. ...

It is our responsibility as citizens of this nation to say unambiguously that what Trump is now threatening is truly evil. It’s our responsibility as human beings to demand that Trump repudiate this threat to other human beings."

"These are the words of a madman: 'A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”' ...

The stakes could not be higher."
