Leo XIV welcomes Trump’s ceasefire in Iran, and urges prolonged dialogue to end the conflict: “Following these recent hours of great tension in the Middle East and throughout the world, I welcome, with satisfaction and as a sign of deep hope, the announcement of an immediate two-week truce. Only through a return to negotiations can the war end. I urge you to accompany this time of delicate diplomatic work with prayer, in the hope that a willingness to engage in dialogue may become the instrument for resolving other conflicts around the world. I renew my invitation to everyone to join me in the Prayer Vigil for Peace that we will celebrate here in St. Peter's Basilica on Saturday, 11th April.”
