President Donald Trump is refusing to apologize to Pope Leo XIV after criticizing the pontiff's opposition to the war in Iran. Trump told reporters Monday that he wasn't sorry for responding to Leo's public comments. Trump lashed out at the pope on Sunday night in both a social media post and to reporters after disembarking Air Force One. Leo responded by saying that the Vatican’s appeals for peace and reconciliation are rooted in the Gospel and that he doesn’t fear the Trump administration. On Monday, Trump also sought to explain away a now-deleted social media post depicting himself as Jesus by saying he thought it showed him as a doctor.

U.S. Central Command says it will begin a blockade of all Iranian ports at 10 a.m. EDT Monday, or 5:30 p.m. in Iran, to be “enforced impartially against vessels of all nations." But it will allow ships traveling between non-Iranian ports to transit the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump wants to weaken Iran’s strategic leverage in the war after demanding that it reopen the strait to all global shipping. He told the U.S. Navy to intercept vessels paying tolls to Iran. The two-week ceasefire remains in doubt, and Pakistan, which hosted the talks, says it will seek more dialogue. U.S. officials blame Iran’s nuclear ambitions for the breakdown in talks, while Iran accuses the U.S. of overreach.
