US EditionQuestions Mount Over Viral Claims of Apocalyptic Iran War Briefings in the Military
More than 110 complaints allege commanders used Christian End Times theology to justify the Iran war, harming morale and violating constitutional limits on proselytizing.
- The Military Religious Freedom Foundation said more than 110 complaints arrived between Saturday morning and Monday night from U.S. service members saying commanders linked the Iran war to biblical end-times beliefs.
- At a prayer breakfast last month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth elevated Christian nationalism by framing the U.S. as a 'Christian nation' and attending weekly White House Bible study led by Ralph Drollinger.
- A complaint from a non-commissioned officer alleges the commander cited the Book of Revelation, urged spreading that the war was 'all part of God's divine plan,' and grinned while delivering the message.
- U.S. legal and military rules bar inserting religion in military messaging, but complainants say it 'destroy morale and unit cohesion,' while service members face risky reporting options via Inspector General and military ethics channels.
- Weinstein warned that many commanders are 'especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become to fulfill end times prophecy,' amid reports of at least 787 deaths in Iran in three days.
