US troops were told Iran war 'anointed by Jesus' to bring on Armageddon, watchdog says

A military watchdog group, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), has received over 200 complaints from US service members alleging their commanders are framing the war on Iran as a religious event. Commanders from various military branches have reportedly told their units that the conflict is "anointed by Jesus" and will initiate Armageddon, leading to his return. One specific complaint cited a commander who claimed President Trump was chosen to "light the signal fire in Iran" for this purpose. These incidents, spanning over 40 units, raise concerns about the influence of Christian nationalism within the US military during a foreign conflict.
