flag Catholic theologians urge Trump to justify U.S. strikes on Iran, stressing moral duty to exhaust diplomacy before war.

flag Catholic theologians are urging President Trump to uphold the just war doctrine amid ongoing U.S.-led strikes on Iran following Iranian attacks on Israel and regional targets. flag They stress that military action must respond to a grave evil, avoid disproportionate harm, have a chance of success, and only follow exhausted diplomacy. flag While Trump cites Iran’s uranium enrichment as justification, intelligence assessments conflict on whether Iran is actively building nuclear weapons. flag Despite reported diplomatic progress, including Iran’s agreement to limit enrichment and allow inspections, Trump launched military operations shortly after. flag Theologians warn that without clear proof that all nonviolent options were truly exhausted, the war may lack moral legitimacy, calling for ethical scrutiny of both intent and necessity.
