Appeal to Pope Leo XIV To Organize a Global Leaders Summit To Address the Questions of Peace and Nuclear Disarmament

The following open letter to Pope Leo XIV was issued on August 19. If you would like to sign this appeal, please fill out this Google form.

We appeal to you, Pope Leo, as the leader who has made the greatest effort to speak for humanity as a whole, instead of for specific nations, religions, or constituencies, to call for an emergency international summit to guide the world away from the current path of war and potential nuclear disaster and to peacefully resolve the greatest crises facing humanity today. Such an effort would be consistent with your repeated calls for peace and justice ever since you assumed the papacy—calls that have inspired and given hope to millions if not billions of people across our planet.

On June 10, 2025, U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard released a brief but chilling video that began in Hiroshima and warned we are “closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before” and that “political elite warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.” “It’s up to us, the people,” she concluded, “to speak up and demand an end to this madness. We must reject this path to nuclear war and work toward a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust.”

On October 20, 2025, Sergei Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence agency, warned, “The world is now experiencing the most fragile moment for international security since World War II.” Naryshkin continued, “Our shared, and perhaps principal, task is to ensure that adaptation to the new reality proceeds without a major war, as has happened at previous historical stages.” It has been many months since the two intelligence chiefs rang the alarm and we’ve only gotten closer to nuclear annihilation—much closer.

When Gabbard and Naryshkin issued those warnings, the war in Ukraine was raging, Israel was conducting its genocide in Gaza, and tensions were high between China and the U.S. over Taiwan and the South China Sea. We have since added the U.S./Israeli war with Iran and the threat of World War III has thus grown exponentially.

Signs continue to appear that leaders are planning for such an eventuality, even though we have known for more than four decades that even a limited nuclear war, let alone a large-scale one, could unleash unthinkable damage globally, including nuclear winter, which would threaten to end life on our planet. On August 20, 2024, the New York Times ran a front-page article warning that the U.S. was preparing to fight a simultaneous three-front nuclear war against Russia, China, and North Korea. That same day, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reported on a growing school of nuclear strategists who believe a nuclear war can be fought and won, effectively overturning decades of understanding that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. In November 2024, U.S. Admiral Thomas Buchanan said that the U.S. was preparing to fight and win a nuclear war and keep enough nuclear weapons in reserve to be able to maintain its global hegemony. More recently, the U.S. Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby has discussed the need for the U.S. to use tactical nuclear weapons on top of deploying troops from South Korea and Japan if fighting breaks out between the U.S. and China over the Taiwan Strait.

The experts behind the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock are not alone in believing that the world is getting closer and closer to nuclear annihilation. And on top of the threats coming from the U.S., several influential Russian leaders have called on Vladimir Putin to use nuclear weapons in defeating Ukraine.

We, the undersigned from around the world, think the timing is propitious for calling an emergency international summit to address major conflicts in the world and the need for stepping away from the nuclear precipice. Russia has been bogged down in Ukraine for almost five years. Though Russia continues to make incremental gains at great cost, the battlefield has largely stalled and both sides are doing extensive damage to energy infrastructure and shipping in their drone and missile warfare, causing global energy and food shortages and suffering both inside and outside their respective countries. If NATO-backed Ukraine continues to cross Russia’s red lines, will Russian President Vladimir Putin be willing and able to thwart Russia’s hawks? The U.S., meanwhile, has been unable to find a diplomatic escape route from its war with Iran, which shows no sign of allowing the U.S. to end the crisis it and Israel created by attacking Iran. While China insists that retaining Taiwan is its ultimate red line, everyone in the region would benefit from a calming of tension and diverting resources into development, along the lines of China’s Belt and Road initiative, instead of into warmaking.

That last point should be applied universally. It is painfully wasteful to see so many nations diverting resources from food, housing, education, and healthcare to their militaries. This has especially been true in North America, Europe, and Asia where talk of peacefully resolving conflicts has given way to talk of preparing for war.

As you yourself wisely and powerfully stated a couple of months ago, “I have repeated more than once the fervent appeal that Saint Paul VI made to the United Nations Assembly—What unites me, my venerable predecessor noted, is a pact sealed ‘with an oath that ought to change the future history of the world: never again war, never again war! It is peace, peace, that has to guide the destiny of the nations of all mankind’! Above all in the atomic era, the affirmation of the truth must push through: it is not atomic weapons that generate peace, but disarmament. This truth, which seemed clear in past decades when we witnessed a nuclear de-escalation, has been obscured by a race to armament that today frightens and terrifies.”

It was indeed Pope Paul VI, the first pope to address the United Nations in October 1965, who, in that extraordinary address, quoted President Kennedy, “Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.” He cited the Book of Isaiah, declaring, “They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.” In his 1967 Encyclical “Populorum Progressio,” Pope Paul VI emphasized, “Development is the new name for Peace.”

Other popes have also taken bold initiatives to save humanity in moments of crisis. In October 1962, Pope John XXIII appealed for peaceful resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis and helped provide both President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev with face-saving means to resolve the crisis diplomatically rather than militarily at a moment when war seemed imminent. A similar effort might succeed today when the world’s two major wars seem to be intractably bogged down. (see “Letter To Archbishop John Wester, To Urge Pope Leo XIV to Call for a Peace Conference“) The same is true of the nuclear arms race as the nine nuclear powers are not only modernizing their arsenals but expanding them after decades of sensible if much too slow reductions. And, for the first time in decades, the two major nuclear antagonists are constrained by no nuclear arms control treaties. Other countries and territories, including Japan, South Korea, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and Ukraine, have begun discussing the attainment of nuclear weapons of their own, which would only turn the world into a larger nuclear tinderbox.

A papal appeal for an emergency summit to end the current wars and reverse the growing dependence on nuclear weapons and warfighting might give global leaders the chance to select a new course of action and get us off the current drive toward planet-destroying nuclear war. We urge you, Pope Leo, to use your unique moral authority to convene such a meeting of the world’s leaders, including the heads of state of the three principal nuclear powers, to meet and respond to the pleas of humanity to take our world in a fundamentally different direction before it is too late.

The world welcomed the news of an agreement reached between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran over the weekend. “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” President Donald Trump said June 14. This was confirmed by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as well as the Iranians themselves, and a formal signing ceremony is planned to take place in Switzerland this Friday, June 19. Trump reportedly digitally signed the MOU Sunday night before he left to attend the G7 summit in France.

Can this peace become a stable peace? Can this moment of reprieve be transformed into an inflection point where a wholly new orientation takes hold?

The emphatic point to be made is: Yes, if we act to make it happen. Don’t wait around analyzing what Donald Trump will do next, or place your bets in Polymarket as to how long the agreement will last. Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed this in a discussion with associates June 15, where she called for upgrading the mobilization for the Extended Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia. “This is the moment to put in the economic development perspective on the table, to change the dynamic on a permanent basis,” she said. She emphasized the importance of former Prime Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoğlu’s proposal for a new security architecture for the region, combined with the Schiller Institute’s proposal of economic development to solidify it.


To the Governments of the United Nations: A Policy to Bring Peace and Development to Southwest Asia

May 17, 2026

On May 26, China, as the rotating chair of the United Nations Security Council, will convene a meeting under the theme “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System.” The meeting will occur with the world at a historical branching point, where humanity can choose to go in one of two very different directions. The unprovoked and aggressive war against Iran, and its ensuing effects, has placed the Middle East at an impasse and threatens a potentially fatal escalation into a global economic depression or even global nuclear war. At the same time, the meetings between President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump in Beijing have opened the door to a new level of cooperation between the world’s two largest economies, creating an opportunity to implement an entirely different policy than that which created today’s crisis. Therefore, it is a very precious moment in history, which must not be missed.

Such a policy was actually discussed and elaborated at the recent EIR Emergency Roundtable on May 15, “The Iran War and the ‘Controlled Disintegration’ of the World Economy.” Speaking there was former Prime Minister of Türkiye Ahmet Davutoğlu, along with Iranian Ambassador to Mexico Abolfazl Pasandideh, former UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine Richard Falk, and others. Prof. Davutoğlu insisted that bilateral U.S.-Iran bargaining cannot resolve the regional crisis, saying only “a comprehensive regional framework” can produce sustainable peace. He outlined his recent proposal consisting of four converging issues, where “progress on any one front is unlikely without parallel movement on the others”:

1. The Strait of Hormuz: Form a coalition of trusted intermediaries, such as Türkiye, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia, to administer the Strait under a UN Security Council mandate.

2. Nuclear arrangements: Establish a new agreement whereby Iran would deposit enriched uranium in Türkiye in exchange for fuel for civilian use, reaffirm its commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons, and have its right to peaceful nuclear energy formally recognized by the U.S. Over time, the region would move toward freedom from nuclear weapons “including those held by Israel.” (It should be noted that this was the basis for the 2010 Tehran Agreement, which Davutoğlu helped mediate, along with Brazil and the IAEA, and which was rejected by President Obama at the time. Notably, President Lula of Brazil handed President Trump a copy of this agreement during his recent May 7 visit to Washington.)

3. Regional security architecture: A multilayered structure of confidence-building and regional security would be established, evolving toward “a Middle Eastern equivalent of the 1975 Helsinki Accords.”

4. Palestine: Israel would be offered integration into the architecture—full diplomatic normalization and formal guarantees—in exchange for recognizing Palestinian statehood and ending military operations in Lebanon.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute and Editor-in-Chief of EIR magazine, had opened the roundtable dialogue by proposing a complete policy change for Southwest Asia, namely that the nations of the entire region, from India to the Mediterranean, from the Caucasus to the Gulf, adopt a joint policy of “Peace through Development.” An integrated “Extended Oasis Plan,” in which a program for reversing the desertification of Southwest Asia, modelled on China’s transformation of Xinjiang province and its northwest deserts, is combined with the extension of development corridors throughout Southwest Asia. As in the times of the ancient Silk Road, the Middle East can become the hub connecting Asia, Africa and Europe again, with a bright future for all countries which are now in a state of humanitarian crisis and poverty as a result of interventionist wars.

When Zepp-LaRouche proposed to add the Extended Oasis Plan to the proposal put on the table by Davutoğlu, which is actually very similar to the Tehran Agreement of 2010 signed by Türkiye, Brazil and Iran, the latter replied:

“I fully agree. The best way of peace is economic interdependency. There is no other way. You can sign peace plans, you can make many declarations, but the best way of peace is economic interdependency. Whenever you have economic interdependency, nobody will be starting a war. So, economic interdependency means development.” Davutoğlu added that the best response to this war is to create a sense of “regional belonging, supporting each other. And I fully share your opinion; and we can bring these proposals together, a geopolitical solution framework, as well as a developmental, visionary project together.”

The participants in the EIR Roundtable agreed, therefore, to send this combined proposal to the governments convening the UN Security Council special session on May 26, requesting that it be taken into consideration at this meeting. Even as the UN Charter must be upheld, the UN is nevertheless in urgent need of reform, which would give the Global Majority a proportionate representation. Part of this reform must be the establishment of a new security and development architecture, which must take into account the interest of every single country on the planet.

A combination of Mr. Davutoğlu’s proposal and the Extended Oasis Plan can be an indispensable component of such a new architecture.

Any and all of the participants in the EIR roundtable stand prepared for further assistance, if so required.

Sincerely yours,

Helga Zepp-LaRouche

Interview with Dennis Fritz, Retired Air Force Chief — Why the U.S. Keeps Going to War (And Who Benefits)

This in-depth interview explores the escalating crisis in Iran and the broader geopolitical strategy behind ongoing conflicts in Southwest Asia. Featuring retired U.S. Air Force Command Chief Master Sergeant Dennis Fritz, the discussion challenges official narratives surrounding U.S. foreign policy, revisits the origins and consequences of the Iraq War, and examines claims about long-term strategic planning in the region. The video raises urgent questions about government transparency, the risk of wider war—including potential nuclear escalation—and the role of global power structures shaping current events.


Interview with Einar Tangen: An Insider’s View of China and the Current Geopolitical Crisis

In this interview, geopolitical analyst Einar Tangen provides a rare perspective on global developments from inside China. The discussion explores how China views the current geopolitical crisis, the risks of escalation in the Middle East, and the potential economic consequences of a wider conflict.

Tangen examines the strategic relationship between China, the United States, and the broader Global South, including how ongoing tensions—such as the war involving Iran—could trigger major disruptions to the global economy and international trade. The conversation also looks at competing economic systems, the future of globalization, and whether the world is entering a new era of geopolitical realignment.

This interview offers an insider’s analysis of China’s strategic thinking and what it may mean for the future of the international order.


US Imperial Brutality: Helga Zepp-LaRouche & Patrick Henningsen on War, Empire, & the Global Crisis

In this interview, Helga Zepp-LaRouche speaks with podcaster and journalist Patrick Henningsen. Shortly before the start of the US attacks, Patrick Henningsen visited Iran and graphically describes the moral depravity of the American elite in enforcing their interests, as well as the influence of religious fanatics on US foreign policy over the past 30 years.

The discussion examines the strategic logic behind recent military operations, the role of Western geopolitical doctrine, and the growing danger that regional conflicts could spiral into a broader global confrontation. Zepp-LaRouche argues that decades of interventionist policy and regime-change warfare have destabilized entire regions and accelerated the collapse of the post-Cold War order.

Henningsen and Zepp-LaRouche explore how these policies are perceived internationally, the impact of sanctions and economic warfare, and why many nations are now pushing toward a multipolar system that rejects the old imperial framework.

As tensions rise across the Middle East and beyond, this conversation addresses the deeper geopolitical forces shaping the crisis—and why understanding the reality of US imperial brutality is essential to avoiding a wider war.


Interview with Ted Postol: 35-year Fraud of Missile Defense Exposed in Iran War

Helga Zepp-LaRouche greeted Professor Ted Postol on March 9, in her interview of him saying, “you are one of the voices of reason, and also are equipped with the necessary knowledge to judge” the situation in the Middle East.  Referring to the fact that “everyone in their right mind” is poised on the edge of their seats, she noted that the last time the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in June 2025, asked him, how does the present situation compare to then and for his assessment of where we are in this current war?

Pointing to the negotiation double-cross back in June, and now, where Trump officials lulled the Iranians into hopes of a peaceful resolution, this time the Iranians made clear they would not be fooled a second time. So when the U.S.-Israel side asked for a ceasefire this time, Iran which had granted one back in June 2025, said ‘no.’ Prior to the war beginning on February 28, Iran made clear if they are attacked again, it would be an “indefinite war.”

Emphasizing that this is an “unjustified war of choice,” Professor Postol said he has been surprised at how quickly the second phase of the war occurred, pointing to Iran’s retaliation to the U.S.-Israel assault with its hitting of military bases in the Gulf, and direct hits on Israel.

Demonstrating his ballistic missile expertise, he proceeded with video footage to show the “counter-missile defenses” which the Iranians are now deploying. These new weapons capabilities are out-running $4 million interceptors and getting through the so-called “Iron Dome.” The latter and the Thadd systems are expensive systems “which never worked.” Pointedly, Postol the Iranian counter-measures are overwhelming the Israeli defensive shield.

Dr. Theodore Postol is professor emeritus of Science, Technology, and National Security at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and one of the world’s leading experts on nuclear weapons and the effects of their use


Interview with Mubarak Mugabo: Africa-China Cooperation to End Colonialism

Daniel Burke of Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) speaks with Mubarak Mugabo, a founding fellow of the African Institute for the Belt and Road (afbri.org) and a prominent Ugandan legal expert. Mugabo shares his unique perspective on how cooperation with China is helping African nations overcome “strategic bottlenecks”—such as poor infrastructure—that have blocked continental development. Drawing on his experience as a Dongfeng scholar at Peking University and a award-winning journalist, Mugabo discusses the shifting dynamics of global governance and the importance of South-South cooperation. From the halls of the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa to the “Two Sessions” in Beijing, this conversation explores the tangible impact of 25 years of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and the vision for a new, equitable international order.

Mubarak Mugabo is a leading journalist, legal expert, and founding fellow at the African Institute for the Belt and Road. He is a two-time winner of the Silk Road Global News Award and has extensively studied Chinese development at Renmin University and Peking University.


Diego Sequera: ‘The Attack on Venezuela Is So Self-Destructive to the U.S.’

Live from Caracas, Venezuelan researcher and columnist for “Misión Verdad” (“Truth Mission”), Diego Sequera, spoke with EIR’s Dennis Small on Jan. 8. Sequera concluded the discussion by explaining that the armed attack on Venezuela, and kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro, was “so self-destructive to the United States.” It not only means a return to imperial Gunboat Diplomacy against Venezuela and the whole Western Hemisphere; it also marks “a policy overhaul along the lines of Trump’s National Security Strategy document.”

We are witnessing “deeper trends” of a broader global fight, which centers on expelling the interests of China, especially, from the Western Hemisphere, in order to “control supply chains, key assets, resources, chokepoints.” Sequera noted that Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodriguez today visited the Chinese embassy in Caracas. “That’s about as clear a message as it gets,” Sequera commented.

He emphasized that support for Venezuela against the naked aggression is coming not only from expected countries, but also from other players, such as Spain, that had previously been cool. “That’s new,” he stated.

Small asked Sequera about the Trump administration’s domino theory – that after Venezuela, other dominoes will follow, such as Cuba, Nicaragua, Iran, and others. “But has Venezuela fallen?” Sequera answered: “That’s an easy answer: no, not at this point.” There has been social breakdown. Nations are also history, ideas, and principles.

Sequera concluded by supporting the upcoming Jan. 12 EIR Emergency Round Table, “It’s Worse Than You Think: The Strategic Implications of the Attack on Venezuela and How to Bring the World Back from the Brink.”
