Pope Leo XIV has offered the Vatican as a venue for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, following the failed negotiations in Istanbul where Putin was notably absent. The Vatican called Putin’s no-show “tragic” and reaffirmed its openness to mediation. Cardinal Parolin acknowledged the difficulty of the situation but stressed the Holy See’s readiness. In his first Sunday blessing, Pope Leo urged both leaders to “meet, talk, and negotiate,” emphasizing that peacemakers are the ones who truly “make history.” The Pope has pledged to prioritize peace throughout his papacy.

Tehran and European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal—Germany, the UK, and France—will meet in Istanbul on May 16 to discuss the Iran nuclear file and U.S.-Iran indirect talks. This marks the fourth round of consultations since 2024, after a delayed April meeting in Rome. The talks come after a round of Oman-mediated U.S.-Iran negotiations, with both sides reporting progress. With the deal’s snapback sanctions clause set to expire in October, European officials are considering invoking it—raising the stakes in what could be a turning point for the nuclear agreement.

Before Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected as the new Pope, Catholic cardinals reportedly consulted the 2024 film 'Conclave' ahead of the conclave to find Pope Francis' successor. According to Politico, a number of cardinals who are a part of the ongoing conclave that began Wednesday in Rome watched 'Conclave' as a, quote, "helpful research tool" to learn more about the process of selecting a new pope.
