UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) – Pope Francis has called for the destruction of all nuclear weapons and expressed hope that agreements reached on Iran’s nuclear program were “stable and effective.”

“Peace needs to be reached without nuclear weapons by exercising the agreement on non-proliferation to its fullest, to the letter, and to the spirit up to the complete destruction of these weapons,” Pope Francis said during his speech at the UN General Assembly in New York.
