“The pope has to understand Iran has killed more than 42,000 people over the last few months”

The evidence shows this is a quote from Donald Trump on Truth Social. However, a web search specifically investigating the 42,000 figure states that such claims 'lack the public, independent verification required to treat 42,000 as established'.

“Iran's Foreign Ministry welcomed the ceasefire agreed upon by Israel and Lebanon, calling it part of an earlier two-week ceasefire deal between Tehran and the United States”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction in the evidence. While Deutsche Welle reports Iran's Foreign Ministry welcomed the ceasefire as part of a US-Iran deal, other web results state that 'The two-weeks ceasefire does not include Lebanon' and that Israel's position was contrary to the Pakistani PM's statement.
