Naval blockade of Iran while Pope Leo XIV responds to Trump
A new and volatile chapter in the conflict with Iran began at 10:00 a.m. EDT Monday, as the U.S. military officially initiated a naval blockade of all Iranian ports. The move comes just 24 hours after marathon negotiations in Pakistan, led by Vice President JD Vance, ended without a definitive peace agreement. While a rare and public war of words between the White House and the Vatican escalated today as Pope Leo XIV, the first-ever American Pope, landed in Africa to begin an 11-day apostolic journey. The Pontiff used his first briefing aboard the papal flight to address personal criticisms leveled against him by President Trump on social media.
