Trump Calls Out Pope Leo, Accuses Iran of Killing Protesters and Warns Nuclear Weapons Are “Unacceptable”

Donald Trump issued a public statement addressing rising tensions involving Iran, focusing on both its internal unrest and nuclear ambitions. In his remarks, Trump claimed that Iran had killed at least 42,000 innocent, unarmed protesters over the past two months, highlighting concerns about the government’s response to ongoing demonstrations. The figure has not been independently verified, but reports of protests and crackdowns in Iran have been widely covered.

Trump also directed his comments toward Pope Leo XIV, urging greater attention to the situation and emphasizing what he sees as a lack of strong international response. He stated that allowing Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon would be “absolutely unacceptable,” reinforcing a long-standing position against Iran’s nuclear program.

The statement concluded with the phrase “America is back,” signaling a firm and assertive stance on foreign policy and national security.
