“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

@wdlindsy If he wipes out all civilization in the country of Iran, he then condemns the United States to a rogue nation status, perhaps only respected by Israel.
We might be on the doorstep of our darkest hour, about to descend into hell.
The people of this nation do not deserve this. They did not vote for this, no matter what their politics.
