Families of more than 100 Iranian schoolchildren killed in a U.S. bombing of an Iranian school have written a letter of gratitude to Pope Leo XIV. In the letter, they thank the pontiff for being a champion of peace and a voice for their deceased children. The White House has yet to apologize for the incident, which appears to be part of ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. This development follows previous Iranian accusations against the U.S. and comes amid heightened regional conflict.
