Senior cleric slams Trump’s insulting of Pope Leo

TEHRAN, Apr. 19 (MNA) – Prominent Iranian cleric Ayatollah Javadi Amoli has strongly condemned the insult by US President Donald Trump toward Pope Leo XIV, the leader of the Catholic Church, saying it is deeply concerning.

“We call on the Christian communities and religious figures worldwide to respond to and object to such behavior, and to restore the dignity of the Pope,” the senior cleric underlined.

Earlier, Pope Leo XIV had said that Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization is “truly unacceptable” and that any attacks on the civilian infrastructures violate the international law.
