Iranian cleric condemns Trump's insult to Pope

Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, a prominent Iranian religious leader, has issued a sharp condemnation of US President Donald Trump for what he describes as an insult to the Pope. The cleric stated that Trump "does not possess sound thinking or proper motives" and has behaved inappropriately toward the Catholic leader in a setting that should be safe and respected. He called on Christians, particularly Catholics in the United States, to forbid this wrongdoing, condemn the act, and seek to correct and educate Trump despite viewing him as potentially beyond reform. The statement reflects ongoing Iranian criticism of Trump's rhetoric and actions on the international stage.
