US commanders tell troops Iran war 'God's divine plan,' Trump anointed to 'ignite Armageddon': Report
2026-03-04
[TheCradle] Independent journalist Jonathan Larsen reported on 2 March that numerous US service members have lodged dozens of complaints saying senior officers are calling the war on Iran part of "God’s divine plan," with claims that US President Donald Trump was "anointed by Jesus" to spark Armageddon.

"President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," one combat-unit commander allegedly told troops during a readiness briefing, according to a complaint submitted to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

The complaint is one of more than 110 logged within 48 hours, spanning over 40 units across at least 30 military installations, with soldiers telling the MRFF that commanders are describing the Iran campaign as divinely ordained and tied to the Book of Revelation.
If it’s true, a few were speaking outside expertise and off topic, and I can see where some would feel pressured instead of seeing it as an expression of personal opinion. It’s bad management to make subordinates feel pressured, so these officers should be retrained on managerial tact.
