President Donald Trump has reiterated his criticisms of Pope Leo and stated it is completely unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear bomb. This follows his recent public comments where he claimed Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent and unarmed protesters in the last two months. The statement, posted on social media, comes amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and a naval blockade of Iranian ports. The claims about protest deaths are unverified and have been a recurring theme in Trump's rhetoric.
