'HUGE FIRE…' Kuwait International Airport Burns After Deadly Iran Drone Hit; Emergency Crews Respond

A sharp global flashpoint is unfolding as Pope Leo issues a powerful warning against war, declaring that God “does not listen” to leaders whose “hands are full of blood.” Speaking before tens of thousands at St. Peter’s Square, the Pontiff drew a clear moral line amid rising tensions between the United States, Iran, and Israel. Quoting scripture, he said, “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen,” in remarks that came just days after US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke about enemies deserving “no mercy.” While no names were directly mentioned, the timing has intensified global debate as troop movements increase across the Middle East and Iran responds, pushing the situation closer to a major geopolitical confrontation.
