LEAP AArch64 ISO images won't boot on Apple Silicon running VMWare Fusion

I've just downloaded the full LEAP ISO as well as the network ISO and neither of them will boot on a Mac Studio running VMWare Fusion Pro. The error message says that x86_64 is required. I have no idea why this is happening as I have just installed Fedora 38 (AArch64) in exactly the same way and everything was fine. Any ideas what might be happening?
