US military personnel have allegedly been informed by their leaders that Donald Trump was chosen by Jesus to initiate an assault on Iran and trigger a catastrophic event known as Armageddon.

Over the weekend, Trump declared a joint military operation between the US and Israel that targeted Iran, resulting in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This operation followed prolonged unrest in Iran and ongoing nuclear negotiations.

In a statement after the initial strike, Trump emphasized the continuation of “intense and precise bombing” until the objective of establishing peace in the Middle East and globally is achieved.

This recent military action occurred less than a year after a previous attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025, where Trump claimed to have eliminated Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Trump revealed to The New York Times his directive for US troops to persist in attacking Iran for several weeks.

A fresh report revealed that numerous US troops lodged complaints with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) regarding combat unit commanders using Christian justifications for the war. Independent journalist Jonathan Larsen reported these findings on Substack.

Allegations arose that a commander urged troops to view the conflict as part of God’s divine plan, citing references from the Book of Revelation about Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ. It was also claimed that Trump was seen as “anointed by Jesus” to spark conflict in Iran and set the stage for Armageddon as part of a divine agenda.

The MRFF disclosed over 110 complaints against military commanders from various branches and units across military installations. One complainant, a Christian NCO, expressed concerns about the impact of such religious rhetoric on morale and unit cohesion.

MRFF President Mikey Weinstein, a former Air Force member, noted the surge in complaints received, highlighting the fervor among some commanders for a war they see as biblically sanctioned, aligning with their interpretation of the End Times prophecy in the Book of Revelation.

The commanders’ enthusiasm for a graphic and violent conflict to fulfill their understanding of Christian eschatology was also underscored by Weinstein.
