CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy, April 7 (Reuters) - Pope Leo said on Tuesday that threats against the population of Iran are "unacceptable," in an unusual appeal hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said "a whole civilization will die tonight" in a social media post that shocked world leaders.
Leo, who has emerged as an outspoken critic of the Iran war, called on citizens across the world to contact their political representatives and ask them to bring the expanding regional conflict to an end.
