Lebanon asks Vatican to Help Protect Threatened Christian Villages in the South
In addition, according to MTV Lebanon, the United States has intervened, in coordination with Israel, to help protect Christian villages in southern Lebanon. However, the sources said the main challenge remains the absence of the Lebanese army in these areas, which has made it difficult to prevent Hezbollah militants from entering the villages and turning them into potential targets.

Cardinal Mathieu Evacuated from Iran, many Catholics Leaving the Country
Closure of the Italian embassy forces departure
The cardinal’s residence is on the grounds of the Italian Embassy in Tehran, which also hosts the diocesan cathedral. Following Italy’s decision to close the embassy and relocate staff to Azerbaijan, the archbishop had no choice but to leave with the diplomatic representation. He then took a flight from Azerbaijan to Rome.
The Italian embassy in Iran is about 1.2 miles from where the country’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was targeted in an Israeli airstrike on the first day of the war, Saturday, Feb. 28, which killed him along with dozens of others.
...
ACI MENA, the Arabic-language sister service of EWTN News, learned that many Catholic faithful in Iran — diplomats, employees, and students — left the country at the outbreak of the war. Currently, four religious sisters from the Daughters of Charity remain: three in Tehran in a senior home with about 20 residents, and one in Isfahan who previously worked at a leprosy shelter.

The head of Iraq’s ports company told CNN on Thursday that it had rescued 38 crew members of two foreign oil tankers left ablaze in the Persian Gulf after coming under attack in Iraq’s territorial waters – but at least one person has died.
Farhan al-Fartousi, the director general of the Iraqi Ports Company, told CNN that the 38 rescued crew were all of foreign nationalities but did not provide details on injuries or damage to the ships.
“Until now, we do not know the nature of the explosions that occurred on the two vessels,” he said.
Reuters reported that an initial investigation by Iraqi security officials found that explosive-laden Iranian boats had hit the two tankers.
Footage verified by CNN shows the two tankers ablaze, with flames spreading into the surrounding water – likely the result of an oil spill. Vessel tracking data indicates that they were anchored alongside each other when the fire began.
The ships on fire are the Maltese-flagged Zefyros and the Marshallese-flagged Safesea Vishnu.
The registered owner of the Safesea Vishnu is US-based company Safesea Transport Inc. while the Zefyros’ owner is based in Greece.
