Pope Leo XIV says it is “not in my interest at all” to debate U.S. President Donald Trump about the war in Iran but that he will continue preaching the Gospel message of peace.

It was unclear whether the pause in Lebanon could lead to a lasting deal but it could be an indication that some progress may have been made. The leaders of France and the U.K. will gather dozens of countries Friday to push forward plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, although the U.S. will not be included.
