US President Donald Trump escalates a public feud with Pope Leo XIV over escalating tensions surrounding Iran, nuclear threats, and humanitarian claims. The controversy intensified after Trump, in a series of Truth Social posts, sharply criticized Pope Leo XIV’s comments on US foreign policy and the ongoing Iran crisis. The president accused Iran of being responsible for the deaths of “at least 42,000 innocent protesters” and reiterated his strong stance against any possibility of Iran developing nuclear weapons. The situation escalated further as Trump directly attacked the Pope, calling him “weak on crime” and “terrible on foreign policy,” while insisting that his leadership was essential in preventing global instability.

Tensions surrounding Iran and US involvement took a sharper turn as US President Donald Trump used a public appearance during the White House Easter event to call out what he described as the “misuse” of American support. Speaking during the annual Easter Egg Roll, Trump raised serious concerns over reports that weapons allegedly sent to support Iranian protesters never reached their intended recipients. Instead, he suggested that certain groups may have diverted or withheld the aid, triggering strong warnings from the president. Trump went a step further, issuing a 48-hour ultimatum directed at the Iranian regime, linking the situation to broader instability in the Strait of Hormuz. The remarks have added a new layer of controversy, especially around US involvement in the region, the role of proxy groups, and the risks tied to arms distribution in conflict zones. Trump’s warning that those responsible would “pay a big price” underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the potential for escalation. WATCH
