Pope Francis has reacted to Iran's last night's attack on Israel, calling for an end to the war.
After his traditional Sunday prayer in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican, the Pope said that any action that could lead the Middle East to war must be avoided.
" I make an urgent appeal to end any action that could fuel a spiral of violence that risks dragging the Middle East into an even greater conflict ," the Argentine Pope declared after his traditional Sunday prayer in the square of Saint Peter in the Vatican.
We recall that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps issued a statement before dawn on Sunday saying it fired missiles and drones from Iranian territory towards Israel.
The statement said the attack was in retaliation for what Iranian officials say was an Israeli strike that killed several senior Iranian military commanders in Damascus on April 1.
