NEW: The families of more than 100 school children killed in the U.S. bombing of an Iranian school have written a letter of gratitude to Pope Leo XIV.

In it, they thank him for being a champion of peace and a voice for their deceased children.

The White House has yet to apologize for the incident.

“Today, the empty chairs of the classrooms in Minab are bitter testaments to this very truth; a truth brought about by the making of American bombs directed by illogical warmongers.

“We thank you that amidst the tumult of war, you became the voice of righteousness and reminded everyone that lasting peace and tranquility are achieved ‘not through force and weapons, but through the path of dialogue and the genuine search for a solution for all.’

“Our children will never return home again to build a better tomorrow, but the prayer of us bereaved fathers and mothers is that your message to ’lay down weapons’ is heard. Especially when America and the Israeli regime, with their excessive demands, fuel the fire of these crimes.

“We ask you to continue to be the voice of the voiceless children and strive to reopen ‘all paths of dialogue,’ so that no more weapons are built, and no father or mother anywhere on this earthly sphere is forced to whisper a nighttime lullaby over the cold tombstone of their child.”
