就在唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布推迟对伊朗发动袭击两周前，教皇利奥罕见地发表了措辞尖锐的谴责，斥责特朗普周二上午对伊朗发出的威胁“令人发指”。
这位领导全球14亿天主教徒的宗教领袖在意大利冈多夫堡的官邸外对记者发表讲话，谴责不断升级的战争，并呼吁立即结束冲突。
“今天，众所周知，还有针对伊朗全体民众的威胁，这确实令人无法接受，”教皇说道，“这里显然涉及国际法问题，但更重要的是关乎全体民众福祉的道德问题。”
这番言论似乎是针对特朗普早前在Truth社交平台上发布的一则帖子，他当时写道：“整个文明今晚都将消亡，永无复兴之日。我不想看到这一幕，但恐怕终究还是会发生……上帝保佑伟大的伊朗人民！”
特朗普誓言：若霍尔木兹海峡不重新开放，美国将袭击伊朗的发电厂、桥梁

特朗普随后表示，基于与巴基斯坦领导人的会谈，他将把“对伊朗的轰炸和袭击”推迟两周。
这位总统在Truth社交平台的帖子中写道，此次推迟的前提是伊朗伊斯兰共和国同意“全面、立即、安全地开放霍尔木兹海峡”。
他补充称，美国政府收到了伊朗提出的十点提案，官员们“认为这是可供谈判的可行基础”。

教皇利奥曾警告称，袭击民用基础设施“违反国际法”，是“人类所能展现的仇恨、分裂与毁灭”的标志。
这位教皇随后将这场冲突描述为一场被许多人称为“不正义”的战争，“解决不了任何问题”。
“事实上，我们正面临全球经济危机、中东能源危机和高度不稳定的局势，这只会在全球范围内引发更多仇恨，”他说，“所以回到谈判桌前。让我们通过对话，以和平方式寻求解决方案。”
教皇还采取了不同寻常的举措，呼吁普通民众“联系当局——政治领导人、国会议员——要求他们为和平而努力，永远拒绝战争”。

据路透社报道，梵蒂冈城国的君主与世界各国领导人发生争执实属罕见，不过教皇上周首次直接向特朗普发出呼吁，敦促他找到结束对伊朗战争的“退路”。
教皇利奥周二恳求保护无辜者，敦促全世界铭记“儿童、老人、病人”，他表示这些人“已经或将成为这场持续战争的受害者”。

Hours before President Donald Trump announced a two-week delay in attacking Iran, Pope Leo issued a rare and pointed condemnation, denouncing Trump’s Tuesday morning threat against the country as “truly unacceptable.”
Speaking to journalists outside his residence in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, the leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics spoke out against the escalating war and called for an immediate end to the conflict.
“Today, as we all know, there has also been this threat against the entire people of Iran, and this is truly unacceptable,” the pope said. “There are certainly issues of international law here, but even more so a moral issue for the good of the whole entire population.”
The comments were seemingly in reference to one of Trump’s earlier Truth Social posts, where he wrote, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will… God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
TRUMP VOWS US WILL STRIKE IRAN’S POWER PLANTS, BRIDGES IF STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS NOT REOPENED

Trump later said that, based on conversations with Pakistani leaders, he would delay the “bombing and attack of Iran” for two weeks.
The postponement is subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to “the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
He added the administration received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and officials “believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.”

Pope Leo had warned that attacks on civilian infrastructure are “against international law” and serve as a “sign of the hatred, the division [and] the destruction the human being is capable of.”
The pontiff went on to describe the conflict as a war many are calling “unjust” that is “not resolving anything.”
“In fact, we have a worldwide economic crisis, energy crisis situation in the Middle East of great instability, which is only provoking more hatred throughout the world,” he said. “So come back to the table. Let’s talk let’s look for solutions in a peaceful way.”
The pope also took the unusual step of calling on everyday citizens to “contact the authorities — political leaders, congressmen — to ask them to work for peace and to reject war always.”

A clash between the sovereign of the Vatican City State and world leaders is highly unusual, though the pope made his first direct appeal to Trump last week, urging him to find an “off-ramp” to end the war with Iran, according to a report from Reuters.
Pope Leo on Tuesday pleaded for the protection of the innocent, urging the world to remember “the children, the elderly, the sick,” who he said “have already become, or will become, victims of this continued warfare.”
