US President Donald Trump reiterated his criticisms of Pope Leo on Tuesday and said it is "unacceptable" for Iran to have a nuclear bomb.
"Will someone please tell Pope Leo that Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed protesters in the last two months, and that for Iran to have a nuclear bomb is absolutely unacceptable," Trump said on Truth Social.
