Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stood by President Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran, even in the face of Pope Leo XIV’s sharp condemnation of the move and its heavy costs. The White House has defended President Donald Trump's war in Iran after Pope Leo XIV condemned leaders who 'wage war', with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisting there was 'nothing wrong' with calling on Americans to pray for troops. Speaking at a Monday afternoon briefing in Washington, Leavitt was pressed on the Pope's remarks about the month‑long conflict, which has killed 13 US service members, wounded more than 300 others and rattled global oil markets, and was asked directly whether the Vatican's warning applied to President Trump.
