VATICAN CITY, March 1 (Reuters) - Pope Leo said on Sunday that he is following events after U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran with "deep concern" and made an impassioned appeal to stop what he called a "spiral of violence".
"I address a heartfelt appeal to the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility to stop the spiral of violence before it becomes an irreparable abyss," said the pope.
"Stability and peace are not built through mutual threats or through weapons ... but only through reasonable, genuine, and responsible dialogue," the pope said during his weekly address to pilgrims in St. Peter's Square after a Sunday prayer.
