Pope Leo XIV answered questions from journalists on topics including the US war on Iran and his recent visit to Spain.
Asked about the recent agreement between Iran and the United States, the pope said “thank God, there is at least this memorandum that they will officially sign on Friday.”
“There will still be several points to be established,” he added, “but it is always better to do so through dialogue, through negotiation, rather than returning to war.”
Pope Leo expressed his hope that the memorandum might be “truly a solution to the war, that the war is really over and that we can move forward for the good of all.”
On Sunday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that the memorandum of understanding had been finalized and is scheduled to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday.
