<p class="wp-block-paragraph">US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also said “some progress” had been made through the Pakistani mediation, adding that “there is ⁠a chance that, whether it’s ⁠later today, ⁠tomorrow, in a couple days, we may have something to ‌say”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says that Iran “decided to focus the negotiations on ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon”, refusing to discuss its nuclear programme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Israel continues to launch air strikes on southern Lebanon after killing at least 3,123 people since March 2, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Setareh Sadeqi, assistant professor at the University of Tehran, spoke to Al Jazeera about the seemingly encouraging signs emerging from Pakistan towards a final understanding between Iran and the United States.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I think there is a clear message that there is a regional desire to come to an agreement and make it happen between the United States and Iran,” said Sadeqi.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But she cautioned the messaging from all sides remains “very contradictory”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We’re seeing both parties talking about being very close, but at the same time being far and that the military option is on the table and it could happen within even hours, if not days,” she added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump said he was close to restarting the war before Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE urged him not to and to continue negotiations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The Pakistani officials are also saying that there are still points that need to be settled, and that means that it has actually not been finalised,” added Sadeqi.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/3hrx13-29239726.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-11049" srcset="https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/3hrx13-29239726.jpg 1024w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/3hrx13-29239726-300x169.jpg 300w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/3hrx13-29239726-768x432.jpg 768w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/3hrx13-29239726-24x14.jpg 24w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/3hrx13-29239726-36x20.jpg 36w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/3hrx13-29239726-48x27.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px"><strong>L&rsquo;Union européenne a annoncé des sanctions contre les colons israéliens particulièrement violents envers les Palestiniens en Cisjordanie occupée. Leurs avoirs seront gelés et ils seront interdits d&rsquo;entrée sur le territoire européen. D&rsquo;autres sanctions pourraient suivre et inquiètent en Israël.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Après des mois de blocage et un veto hongrois levé à la suite d&rsquo;un changement de majorité dans le pays, l&rsquo;Union européenne est finalement parvenue à s&rsquo;entendre sur un accord pour sanctionner certains colons israéliens particulièrement extrémistes en Cisjordanie, où les violences coloniales se poursuivent<em>&nbsp;(voir le reportage en encadré)</em>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Il était grand temps de sortir de l’impasse et de passer à l&rsquo;action », a commenté la cheffe de la diplomatie européenne Kaja Kallas à l&rsquo;issue de la réunion des ministres des Affaires étrangères lundi. Elle a annoncé que sept personnes coupables de violences, ainsi que leurs organisations, sont d&rsquo;ores et déjà concernées.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Des sanctions contre des responsables du Hamas font également partie de cet accord politique. Douze responsables sont concernés. Une décision formelle des Vingt-Sept doit encore être prise pour que les sanctions entrent officiellement en vigueur. Leurs avoirs seront gelés et ils seront interdits d&rsquo;entrée sur le territoire européen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:18px">Nervosité côté israélien</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Côté israélien, cette décision a rapidement été fustigée. Le ministre israélien des Affaires étrangères Gideon Saar a dénoncé une « comparaison moralement déformée », en référence à l&rsquo;annonce simultanée de sanctions contre des responsables du Hamas. « Israël a soutenu, soutient et continuera de soutenir le droit des Juifs à s&rsquo;installer au cœur de notre patrie », a-t-il réagi sur X.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dans la même veine, Benjamin Netanyahu a fustigé une « faillite morale », tandis que son ministre de la Sécurité Itamar Ben Gvir, lui-même colon et coutumier des déclarations outrancières, a rebaptisé l&rsquo;UE en « Union antisémite ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mais la virulence des réactions trahit une véritable inquiétude en Israël. Dans la presse, des diplomates décrivent en coulisses « une lutte acharnée, jusqu&rsquo;à la dernière minute » pour éviter des sanctions élargies qui toucheraient les échanges économiques entre Israël et l&rsquo;Union européenne, qui reste le premier partenaire commercial d&rsquo;Israël.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:18px"><strong>Vers un élargissement des sanctions?</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">S&rsquo;ils ont pour l&rsquo;heure obtenu gain de cause, leur répit s&rsquo;annonce de courte durée. De nombreux Etats-membres de l&rsquo;UE, comme l&rsquo;Espagne, souhaitent en effet aller plus loin en prononçant une restriction, voire une interdiction totale des échanges commerciaux avec les colonies illégales.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« La politique étrangère de tout pays, y compris de l&rsquo;Union européenne, repose sur la crédibilité », a rappelé le chef de la diplomatie espagnole Jose-Manuel Albares. D&rsquo;autres pays comme la France et la Suède réclament de leur côté des mesures pour limiter voire interdire totalement les exportations de produits en provenance des colonies israéliennes. Mais Kaja Kallas a reconnu lundi que cette proposition n&rsquo;était toujours pas sur la table des Vingt-Sept.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Des discussions avec la Commission européenne vont se tenir afin de soumettre au plus vite des propositions en ce sens, a toutefois confirmé la cheffe de la diplomatie de l&rsquo;UE. La Commission a proposé de suspendre le volet commercial de l&rsquo;accord d&rsquo;association entre l&rsquo;Union européenne et Israël, pour non-respect des droits humains par la partie israélienne. Mais là encore, faute de majorité au sein des 27, cette proposition n&rsquo;a toujours pas été adoptée.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">US President Donald Trump says he had “very good talks” with Iran, “it’s very possible we’ll make a deal”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Israel bombed Beirut in the first attack on the Lebanese capital since the “ceasefire”, in name only, started on April 17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hamas condemns Israel’s attacks on Gaza as a continuation of Israel’s “war of extermination”.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:18px"><strong>US, Iran have a ‘mutual desperation’ to emerge as a victor in negotiations</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The US and Iran both feel a “deep antagonism” towards the other and a “mutual desperation” to each come out on top in negotiations, says Samir Puri, visiting lecturer at King’s College London.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Iran has been severely battered by several weeks of high-intensity warfare, so the choice [during diplomatic efforts] may actually come down to the following, is it better to find an off-ramp or to risk returning to full-scale hostilities?” Puri told Al Jazeera.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best chance of finding an off-ramp is for both sides to reach an agreement regarding nuclear enrichment, said Puri.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Iran needs to be able to sign up to a deal “that it doesn’t see as much of a concession” and that the US can hail “as a great victory”, said Puri.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An arrangement regarding the Strait of Hormuz also needs to be reached, “which is probably the trickier one than enrichment at this point,” added Puri.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If a “workable deal” on these and a few more key issues can’t be reached, this “situation will just rumble on as an unresolved conflict, with every possibility of reigniting in the near future,” he added.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Trump says he’ll review the plan Iran sent via Pakistan but does not think he can make a deal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The comments come after Iran sent a 14-point plan to the US calling for guarantees of non-aggression, the lifting of a naval blockade, and an end to the war “on all fronts“, including in Lebanon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&nbsp;Prices are surging in Iran, and millions of jobs have been lost as the war with the US and Israel causes escalating economic damage.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Food and medicine, cars, electrical devices and petrochemical products are among the many items that cost more this Saturday, the first day of the working week, than a week ago.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A toxic mix of mismanagement, the bombardment of Iran’s infrastructure, US sanctions, and the naval blockade is pummelling the country of more than 90 million people. In addition, the government-imposed, near-total internet shutdown is into its third month.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of all that, the national currency, the rial, has sunk to a new all-time low of 1.84 million against the US dollar.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:18px"><strong>Israeli army intercepts Hezbollah rockets in southern Lebanon</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Israeli army has reported intercepting Hezbollah rockets after alerts were activated in the Menara area, northern Israel. The rockets were reportedly targeting Israeli soldiers now stationed in southern Lebanon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The army said that its Air Force intercepted one launch, while other rockets fell in open areas, with no casualties. It added that it launched interceptors toward several suspected aerial targets identified in the area where Israeli forces are operating.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Amid deadlocked US-Iran negotiations, the US Treasury Department has announced it’s imposing sanctions on 35 Iranian entities and individuals playing a role in Iran’s “shadow banking” networks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said illicit funds – amounting to tens of billions of dollars funnelled by the designated entities and individuals – supported Iran’s “terrorist operations”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Any firms making “toll payments” to Iran for passage through the blocked Strait of Hormuz face “significant sanctions”, its Office of Foreign Assets Control said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has expressed his condolences over the death of Al Akhbar journalist Amal Khalil, who was killed by an Israeli attack in the town of al-Tayri, and extended his wishes for the swift recovery of colleague Zeinab Faraj, who was seriously wounded in the same attack.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aoun said in a post on X that Israel’s “deliberate and consistent targeting of journalists” was aimed at “concealing the truth of its aggressive acts against Lebanon”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Such acts constitute “crimes against humanity punishable under international laws and conventions”, the president said, adding that the killing of Khalil should serve as “an incentive for the international community to intervene and put an end to them”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The president also extended his condolences to Khalil’s family, to Al Akhbar newspaper, and to the broader Lebanese and Arab media community, describing the slain journalist as having “joined the caravan of martyred journalists who preceded her on the path of martyrdom in the land of the South”.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Iran and the United States have made progress in negotiations but are still a long way from a deal, according to Iran’s parliament speaker and chief negotiator – amplifying concerns about a possible return to war when their ceasefire is set to expire on Wednesday.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a nationally televised address on Saturday night, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that despite “progress” with the US, “many gaps and some fundamental points remain… we are still far from the final discussion”.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Sunday, Iran’s President, Masoud Pezeshkian, said that US ⁠President ⁠Donald Trump cannot justify depriving Tehran of what he called its ‘nuclear rights’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Trump says Iran ⁠cannot make use of its nuclear ⁠rights, but doesn’t say ⁠for what crime. ⁠Who is he to deprive a nation ‌of its rights?” Pezeshkian was quoted as ‌saying by the Iranian Student News Agency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The future of Iran’s nuclear programme and the Strait of Hormuz are key sticking points in the negotiations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The latest comments from the political leadership came after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reimposed restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, less than 24 hours after reopening it. The reversal, it said, was due to the continuing naval blockade of Iranian ports by the US.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ghalibaf, one of Iran’s top negotiators, called Washington’s blockade “ignorant” and “foolish”, saying Tehran would not allow others to transit the strait if its own ships were blocked.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He also said Iranian forces are “fully prepared” for the US to resume hostilities at any moment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Al Jazeera’s Tohid Asadi, reporting from Tehran, said Iranian officials are using the strait, through which 20 percent of globally traded oil normally transits, “as a pressure point” in negotiations, calling it perhaps the “most important bargaining chip”.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="start-dropping-bombs-again">‘Start dropping bombs again’</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mediators have been pushing for a second round of US-Iran peace talks, after a first round in Islamabad ended on April 12 with no deal. The White House had said another round would likely be held in Islamabad. But Iran’s deputy foreign minister said on Saturday that no date could be set before the two sides agree on a “framework of understanding”, accusing Washington of maintaining a “maximalist” stance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Donald Trump gave a series of mixed remarks on Saturday, saying Iran “got a little cute” on the Strait of Hormuz and that the US would not be “blackmailed”. The president added that US and Iranian officials remained in contact and negotiations were “working out really well”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier in the day, Trump said the US would “have to start dropping bombs again” if no deal was reached by Wednesday, when the ceasefire is due to end.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has landed in Iran as part of a delegation to hold high-level talks on the resumption of talks between Iran and the US.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Iran’s army has warned it will block trade through the Red Sea along with the Gulf and Sea of Oman if the US naval blockade on Iranian ports continues.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The US military says it has “completely halted economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea” as its blockade in the Strait of Hormuz continues for a second day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">US President Donald Trump says the war is “close to over” after hinting at a second round of face-to-face talks with Iran in Pakistan in the coming days.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« We remain very much engaged in these talks, » she says, and conversations are « productive and ongoing ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On reports that there are in-person talks being planned, she says « those discussions are being had but nothing is official until you here it from us here at the White House ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« We feel good about the prospects of a deal », Leavitt says, adding that it&rsquo;s « in the best interests of Iran » to meet Trump&rsquo;s demands &#8211; which she says he&rsquo;s made « very clear ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If talks happen, they would « very likely » be in the same place they were last time &#8211; Islamabad &#8211; she says.</p>

<p class="has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-c0302a62c267847f9f5fba2b53391c12 wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px"><strong>Le président américain Donald Trump et le pape Léon XIV se sont engagés dans une querelle publique inhabituelle au sujet de la guerre en Iran, après que le pontife a nommément cité Trump pour la première fois.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Élu en mai 2025, premier pape né aux États-Unis, le pontife – anciennement le cardinal Robert Prevost – avait initialement adopté un style public plus réservé que son prédécesseur, le pape François, critique fréquent et virulent de l&rsquo;administration Trump.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cependant, les tensions entre le Vatican et la Maison Blanche s&rsquo;accumulent depuis des mois, et ce dernier échange a mis ces divergences au grand jour.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="Politique-extérieure">Politique extérieure</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La tension est montée d&rsquo;un cran dimanche après que Trump s&rsquo;en soit pris violemment au pape dans un long message publié sur sa plateforme de médias sociaux, Truth Social, le qualifiant de « FAIBLE face à la criminalité et de piètre conseiller en politique étrangère ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Je ne veux pas d&rsquo;un pape qui trouve acceptable que l&rsquo;Iran possède l&rsquo;arme nucléaire », a écrit Trump.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Je ne veux pas d&rsquo;un pape qui trouve inadmissible que l&rsquo;Amérique ait attaqué le Venezuela, un pays qui inondait les États-Unis de drogues et, pire encore, qui vidait ses prisons, y compris ses meurtriers, ses trafiquants de drogue et ses assassins, en les y déversant », ajoute-t-il.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le républicain a ensuite publié une image, largement identifiée comme étant générée par intelligence artificielle, le représentant sous les traits d&rsquo;une figure christique semblant « guérir » un homme – une initiative qui a suscité des critiques de la part de chefs religieux et de commentateurs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">L&rsquo;image a depuis été supprimée. Ces remarques faisaient suite à la condamnation par le pape Léon XIII des propos de Donald Trump, qui avait averti que les États-Unis pourraient « anéantir la civilisation iranienne » si Téhéran ne se conformait pas aux exigences relatives aux négociations nucléaires et au détroit d&rsquo;Ormuz.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le pape a qualifié cette menace de « véritablement inacceptable » et a exhorté les catholiques à faire pression sur les dirigeants politiques afin qu&rsquo;ils « œuvrent pour la paix ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le pape Léon XIII avait déjà interpellé directement Donald Trump quelques jours auparavant.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« On m&rsquo;a dit que le président Trump avait récemment déclaré vouloir mettre fin à la guerre. J&rsquo;espère qu&rsquo;il cherche une porte de sortie », a-t-il affirmé aux journalistes le 31 mars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dimanche, le pontife, âgé de 70 ans, a de nouveau imploré les dirigeants de mettre fin à l&rsquo;effusion de sang en cours, condamnant ce qu&rsquo;il a décrit comme une « illusion de toute-puissance » alimentant la guerre.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="550" src="https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4b06e1b.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-10989" srcset="https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4b06e1b.jpg 800w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4b06e1b-300x206.jpg 300w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4b06e1b-768x528.jpg 768w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4b06e1b-110x75.jpg 110w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4b06e1b-24x17.jpg 24w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4b06e1b-36x25.jpg 36w, https://worldopinions.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4b06e1b-48x33.jpg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La position du pape Léon XIII sur l&rsquo;Iran s&rsquo;inscrit dans la continuité de ses prises de position sur d&rsquo;autres sujets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quelques jours après son élection l&rsquo;an dernier, le pontife a appelé à un cessez-le-feu immédiat à Gaza, à la libération des otages et à un accès humanitaire sans restriction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">En août 2025, le pape Léon XIII a condamné ce qu&rsquo;il a qualifié de « châtiment collectif » et de déplacement forcé des Palestiniens, décrivant les conditions de vie à Gaza comme « inacceptables ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dans son homélie de Noël, le chef des 1,4 milliard de catholiques du monde a évoqué « les tentes de Gaza, exposées à la pluie, au vent et au froid ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bien que Trump et le pape Léon XIII ne se soient pas affrontés publiquement au sujet de Gaza à l&rsquo;époque, des diplomates du Vatican ont reconnu en privé leur malaise face au discours moral et juridique explicite du pape, largement interprété comme une critique de la conduite des États-Unis et d&rsquo;Israël.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Et en janvier de cette année, le pontife a exprimé son inquiétude après l&rsquo;arrestation par les forces américaines du président vénézuélien de l&rsquo;époque, Nicolás Maduro, à Caracas, et son transfert à New York pour y être jugé. « Le bien du peuple vénézuélien bien-aimé doit primer sur toute autre considération et nous conduire à surmonter la violence et à emprunter les voies de la justice et de la paix », a-t-il déclaré.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le pape a également insisté sur le respect de la souveraineté du Venezuela, la sauvegarde de l&rsquo;État de droit tel qu&rsquo;il est inscrit dans la Constitution et le plein respect des droits humains et civils.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="Immigration">Immigration</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/ws/640/cpsprodpb/061d/live/00fa5ed0-3747-11f1-9d5c-8ba507d7dbde.jpg.webp" alt="Le président américain Donald Trump salue la foule depuis la Maison Blanche. Il porte un costume bleu marine et une cravate rouge à rayures blanches."/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Légende image,Le pape a critiqué à plusieurs reprises les politiques d&rsquo;immigration restrictives de Trump.</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">L&rsquo;immigration a été une autre source majeure de tensions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le pape Léon XIII a critiqué à plusieurs reprises la politique d&rsquo;immigration restrictive de Trump, présentant la question comme une obligation morale ancrée dans les enseignements de l&rsquo;Évangile sur la compassion et la dignité.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">En novembre 2025, il a déclaré que les étrangers aux États-Unis étaient traités avec un « extrême irrespect », reprenant ainsi une déclaration des évêques catholiques américains qui dénonçaient les expulsions massives et mettaient en garde contre la peur et l&rsquo;angoisse engendrées par les rafles d&rsquo;immigrants.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Je pense que nous devons chercher des moyens de traiter les gens avec humanité », a indiqué le pape Léon XIII, tout en reconnaissant que « chaque pays a le droit de déterminer qui entre sur son territoire, comment et quand ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lors d&rsquo;un discours prononcé place Saint-Pierre en octobre dernier, il a exhorté les catholiques à ne pas traiter les migrants avec « l&rsquo;indifférence froide ou la stigmatisation de la discrimination », et s&rsquo;est ensuite interrogé sur la compatibilité des politiques de Trump avec l&rsquo;enseignement pro-vie de l&rsquo;Église. Ces remarques ont suscité une vive réaction de la part de personnalités catholiques conservatrices.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="Religion-et-autorité-politique">Religion et autorité politique</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le message publié dimanche sur les réseaux sociaux par Trump dépassait le cadre de la politique étrangère, accusant le pape Léon XIII d&rsquo;outrepasser ses fonctions : « je ne veux pas d&rsquo;un pape qui critique le président des États-Unis, car je fais exactement ce pour quoi j&rsquo;ai été élu, et ce, à une écrasante majorité. »</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Trump a insinué que le pontife n&rsquo;avait été élu pape que parce qu&rsquo;il est américain, affirmant : « si je n&rsquo;étais pas à la Maison-Blanche, Léon XIII ne serait pas au Vatican. »</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Interrogé par des journalistes sur ce message, il a expliqué plus tard : « je ne pense pas qu&rsquo;il fasse du bon travail. Il aime le crime, je suppose. »</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Je ne suis pas un partisan du pape Léon XIII », a ajouté Trump, s&rsquo;exprimant sur le tarmac après son retour de Floride à Washington.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cependant, lundi, s&rsquo;exprimant à bord de l&rsquo;avion papal au début d&rsquo;un voyage de onze jours en Afrique, le pape Léon XIII a refusé de s&rsquo;entretenir personnellement avec Trump.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Je ne suis pas un homme politique et je ne souhaite pas débattre avec lui », a-t-il indiqué. « Je continuerai de m&rsquo;opposer fermement à la guerre et de promouvoir la paix, le dialogue et le multilatéralisme. »</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Il a ajouté n&rsquo;avoir « aucune crainte de l&rsquo;administration Trump » et qu&rsquo;il continuerait de défendre « haut et fort » l&rsquo;Évangile.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selon un sondage de l&rsquo;Associated Press, le candidat républicain a recueilli 55 % des voix des électeurs catholiques lors de l&rsquo;élection de 2024. Les catholiques représentent environ un cinquième de la population américaine, selon le Bureau du recensement des États-Unis, y compris le vice-président J.D. Vance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">L&rsquo;administration Trump entretient également des liens étroits avec des dirigeants protestants évangéliques conservateurs et a de plus en plus présenté la guerre contre l&rsquo;Iran sous un angle religieux.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="Lavis-des-experts">L&rsquo;avis des experts</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/ws/640/cpsprodpb/c604/live/383808e0-374a-11f1-879d-1b2f5c3919b8.jpg.webp" alt="Une image largement identifiée comme étant générée par une intelligence artificielle montre Trump sous les traits d'une figure christique semblant &quot;guérir&quot; un homme."/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Légende image,Trump a publié – puis supprimé – une image générée par une IA le représentant comme une figure christique, ce qui a suscité des critiques de la part de chefs religieux et de commentateurs.</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selon des experts, le changement de ton et d&rsquo;approche du pape suggère qu&rsquo;il souhaite faire contrepoids, sur la scène internationale, à Trump et à ses objectifs de politique étrangère.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Je ne pense pas qu&rsquo;il veuille que le Vatican soit accusé de complaisance envers le trumpisme simplement parce qu&rsquo;il est américain », a souligné Massimo Faggioli, universitaire italien spécialiste du Vatican, à Reuters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Quand Léon s&rsquo;exprime, il est toujours très prudent », a ajouté M. Faggioli, professeur au Trinity College de Dublin. « Je ne crois pas que ce soit un hasard. »</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le cardinal de Chicago, Blase Cupich, proche allié du pape Léon, a confié à Reuters qu&rsquo;il s&rsquo;inscrivait dans la longue tradition des papes ayant exhorté les dirigeants mondiaux à renoncer à la guerre.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Ce qui est différent… c&rsquo;est la voix du messager, car désormais, les Américains et le monde anglophone tout entier entendent le message dans un langage qui leur est familier », a-t-il affirmé. Marie Dennis, ancienne dirigeante du mouvement catholique international pour la paix Pax Christi, a expliqué que les dernières déclarations du pape Léon X et son appel direct à Trump « témoignent d&rsquo;une profonde tristesse face à cette violence incessante ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Il s&rsquo;adresse à tous ceux qui sont épuisés par cette violence et qui aspirent à un leadership courageux », a-t-elle ajouté.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’ve spoken to Salvatore Mercogliano, maritime historian at Campbell University in North Carolina, about how the US could effectively implement a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mercogliano said he expected the US Navy to turn around ships that come out of the Strait while keeping at a distance from the range of Iran’s missiles and drones.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He added that CENTCOM specified that the blockade would exclude ships that departed from non-Iranian ports, as well as humanitarian vessels.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Mercogliano, the US has been reinforcing its naval forces and now has enough assets in place to operate a blockade.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What may end up happening is that Iran and the US enforce “two competing blockades.” “This has the potential to freeze shipping in and out the Strait of Hormuz entirely,” he said.</p>
