ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Leo XIV has responded to President Donald Trump’s criticism over the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, saying the Vatican’s peace appeals are rooted in the Gospel. Speaking Monday, Leo emphasized that his message is not a direct attack on Trump but a call for peace. Trump criticized Leo on social media and to reporters, accusing him of being too liberal. Leo suggested over the weekend that a “delusion of omnipotence” is fueling the U.S.-Israel war in Iran. In a social media post, Trump accused Leo of being weak on crime and foreign policy. He also criticized Leo for opposing the U.S. attack on Venezuela. President Trump said he will not apologize for his criticism of Pope Leo and he doubled down on his view that the Pope should not be speaking out on issues of policy, including the US war with Iran. As for a picture he posted on his Truth Social Site, appearing to depict himself as Jesus Christ, Trump says, “I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support, and only the fake news could come up with that one.” The post has since been deleted as Catholics and others around the world expressed their unhappiness with the post.

(WPXI) – Crews have recovered the vehicle that plunged into the icy Monongahela from the Parkway East earlier this year. Pittsburgh police, state police and rescue crews are on the scene at the Southside Riverfront Park. A silver, smashed-up vehicle could be seen being pulled from the river by a tow truck. On January 29, a vehicle went off the Parkway into the river near the 900 block of Second Avenue after striking a snow embankment. Divers used a rope system and a Stokes basket to go into the ice and sub-zero temperatures and bring up the driver, Jacinta Stevens, 31, who later died at the hospital. The vehicle was not removed from the river at the time due to safety concerns.

Gas prices are a penny higher in Western Pennsylvania this week at $4.185 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report. The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has been falling over the past few days and is now a penny more than last week at $4.12. The last time the national average was over $4 per gallon was in early August of 2022. Crude oil prices remain high, even as they’ve fluctuated in recent days following the announcement of a 2-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The price for a barrel of crude dropped below $100 but then rose again, highlighting the volatility of oil markets and fluidity of geopolitical events. Today’s national average is 50 cents more than a month ago and 94 cents more than a year ago. In Washington the average price for a gallon of gas is four-dollars and fourteen-cents a gallon

CAIRO (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump says the American military has begun a blockade of Iranian ports. Trump’s statement on Monday was part of his effort to force Tehran to open the Strait of Hormuz and accept a deal to end the war that has raged for more than six weeks. Iran responded with threats on all ports in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, taking aim at U.S.-allied countries. That set the stage for an extraordinary showdown that posed serious risks for the global economy and raised the specter that the ceasefire could collapse and the war could resume.

TOKYO (AP) — Oil prices are climbing again as the U.S. military prepares to blockade Iranian ports and the Strait of Hormuz. The move comes after U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement. The blockade is set to begin Monday at 10 a.m. EDT. Since late February, shipping through the strait has stalled, causing oil prices to rise. On Monday, U.S. crude jumped 7.4% to $103.69 a barrel, while Brent crude rose 7.4% to $102.24. Global markets mostly declined, with major indices in Europe and Asia falling. Analysts expect global trading to remain turbulent.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California has announced he will resign from Congress following multiple sexual assault allegations that prompted loud bipartisan calls for him to step down. The decision Monday caps a swift political fall for the seven-term lawmaker, who had been seen as a frontrunner in California’s gubernatorial race before dropping out as the allegations surfaced, claims he has continued to deny. “I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell said on social media. “I will fight the serious false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”
