Pope Leo: Tigil-putukan sa Iran ‘senyales ng totoong pag-asa’

Inilarawan ni Pope Leo XIA na “sign of real hope” ang tigil-putukan sa pagitan ng United States at Iran.
“I welcome with satisfaction, and as a sign of real hope, the announcement of an immediate two-week truce. Only by returning to negotiations can we reach the end of the war,” ani Pope Leo noong Miyerkoles sa Vatican.
Matatandaan na unang inihayag ni US President Donald Trump na pumayag siya sa pansamantalang pagsuspinde ng mga pag-atake sa Iran sa loob ng dalawang linggo.
Nakabatay umano ang desisyong ito sa naging pag-uusap nila nina Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at Field Marshal Asim Munir ng Pakistan, na umano’y humiling na pigilan ang mapanirang puwersa.
“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning long term PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East,” ani Trump.
