DID Press: Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, Vatican Foreign Minister, with a rare criticism of the escalation of military actions by the United States and Israel against Iran, described these attacks as a factor that weakens the foundations of international law. He warned that continuing this trend could expose the world to the spread of dangerous conflicts and pose a serious challenge to international stability.

This Vatican official emphasized that the increase in tensions in the Middle East will have consequences beyond the region’s borders, and the international community must strengthen the path of de-escalation and return to diplomacy to prevent the crisis from flaring up.
