Pope Leo XIV and the top U.S. Catholic bishop for the military both used Easter Sunday to emphasize Jesus' message of peace amid the escalating Iran war.

Praise be to Allah." - Leo and U.S. Roman Catholic leaders have voiced moral opposition to Trump's policies, notably on the the Iran war and immigration . Driving the news: In Leo's first Easter mass, he called on people to "allow ourselves to be amazed by" Jesus Christ. - "Let us allow our hearts…

Andrea García and her siblings are carrying on in a home reshaped by fear, loss and new responsibility.
President Trump told Axios the U.S. initially worried that a message from the stranded crew member of an F-15 downed by Iran was a trick by the Iranians to lure U.S. forces into a trap. The big picture: The crew member survived more than 24 hours in the mountains despite being wounded, before being rescued in a special forces operation on Saturday. - Around 200 soldiers from special operations units participated in the operation, Trump said. - Trump said the Iranian military shot down the F-15 using a shoulder-fired missile.
