Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf expressed admiration for Pope Leo XIV's strong condemnation of war and violence, particularly against the backdrop of alleged war crimes by Israel and the United States. In a post on social media platform X, Qalibaf highlighted the Pope's slogan, 'I have no fear,' as an inspiration for those opposing such actions. The Pope, during his flight to Algeria, reiterated his commitment to peace, stating he does not wish to engage in political confrontations, particularly with former President Donald Trump. He emphasized that his mission is rooted in faith and the message of the Gospel, which should not be politicized. The Pope's visit to Algeria, marking his third international apostolic journey, aims to promote fraternity and interfaith dialogue in a predominantly Muslim nation. This mission stands in stark contrast to the current political environment in the United States, where the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops criticized Trump for his remarks targeting the Pope, reinforcing the notion that the Pontiff should not be viewed as a political adversary.
