On April 17, President Trump dropped a wild claim this week, saying Pope Leo backs Iran having nuclear weapons, but that got corrected right away. With zero public proof to back it up. It went down during a media interview, stirring up the already tense vibes between Trump and the Pope over the Iran situation. Pope Leo, the U.S. born leader elected back in May 2025, has stayed firm against nukes from day one. He's pushed hard for global disarmament, calling out nuclear threats and urging dialogue over fights, especially as Israel and Iran edge toward conflict last year. Folks jumped on the correction quick with the interviewer setting the record straight on air. Trump's words clash hard with the Pope's track record, like his pleas to keep arms control treaties alive and recent calls for nations to ditch. Nuclear bills do prayer and talks. Trump doubled down earlier on Truth Social, saying he wants no poke cool with Iran going nuclear. This latest slip in Thursday's chat amps up their back and forth, all while the Iran

war drags on without clear wins. Leaders trading shots like this shows how high the stakes are on nukes and peace, keeps us watching close for what drops next. That wraps entertainment and celebrity news today, brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story.
