Vatican’s President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace has voiced surprise over the third round of sanctions against Iran.
“Like any other state, Iran is entitled to peaceful use of nuclear energy. This is Vatican’s stance toward Iran’s nuclear issue and it has always been one of our principal policies,” Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino, said on Thursday.
He made the remarks in a meeting with Iran’s chargé d’affaires to Vatican, Mohammad Hossein Mirzaaqaie.
Martino also noted that Vatican welcomes IAEA’s stand and role as well as its recently released report indicating Iran’s positive cooperation with the agency.
“The IAEA’s report clearly states Iran’s cooperation with the agency and urges diplomacy over Tehran’s nuclear standoff.”
“As an internationally approved institution, world powers as well as the UN Security Council should prepare the grounds for the Agency to accomplish its duties,” the Vatican’s cardinal highlighted.
The Iranian envoy, for his part, called for further Tehran-Vatican cooperation in a bid to ensure the establishment and the promotion of justice, peace and international security.

Given muslims hatred towards anyone other than their own, the dear man should wonder how long before the Vatican is subjected to one of these.
Peace at any price?
Pure idiocy.
Catholics.......The Vatican......never on the Jewish side...
Will deliver too Satan on a silver platter the Church,and proclaim the AntiChrist(Mahdi) as Messiah.....Its coming Folks....and there is no way too stop it.....just observe and learn.
After 9-11, I’d have lit off at least two.
Four would be better.
Moron turd.
Peace should be a 4 letter word.
And people wonder why a certain pastor called them “The Great Whore”?
Four would be better.
Naive imbecile!
The vatican misses the point here. It's not nuclear energy, it's the Iranian / muslim definition of PEACE, the vaticcan should be concerned with.
I'm sure when the Iranians fel the time is right, they will shrae nuclear energy, with the vatican......by the mega ton.
I’m Catholic. That being said water and vinegar do not mix. The Vatican needs to take a step back and concentrate on their own affairs. Considering all of the issues facing the Church today it’s incomprehensible to me that this statement was made.
