US troops told Trump’s attack on Iran is ‘signal fire for Armageddon’

Multiple commanders crosswise all branches of the US military machine feature offered a fundamentalistic Christian account for the attack on Iran, describing President Donald Trump as the harbinger of the Second Coming and the conflict itself as a “signal fire” for Armageddon, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has reported.
The MRFF, a US non-profit promoting the separation of church and state, as well as freedom of conscience within the military, said on Tuesday that it had received more than 200 complaints from active members of the US military over extremist Christian speeches delivered by commanding officers since the start of the US-Israeli attack on Iran.
One of the complaints was lodged by a non-commissioned officer (NCO) with a unit in Ready-Support status, which can be deployed into the Iran combat zone at any time. The commander of the unit “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan,’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ,” the NCO wrote.
“He said that ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.’ He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this, which made his message seem even more crazy,” he noted.
The MRFF founder and president, Mikey Weinstein, a US Air Force veteran and legal counsel under the Reagan administration, said that most of those who reached the group have reported “unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains” over the purportedly “biblically-sanctioned” war on Iran.
“Any military members seeking to take advantage of their subordinates by advancing their blood-soaked, Christian nationalist wet dreams upon the flames of this latest non-Congressionally sanctioned attack against Iran should be swiftly, aggressively, and visibly prosecuted,” Weinstein said in a statement.
The MRFF has long sounded the alarm over the rapidly growing Christian nationalist sentiment among the US military top brass. The advocacy has repeatedly called out US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over his openly religious activities, including participation in Bible study events and hosting hardline Christian nationalist preachers at the Pentagon.
