🇺🇸🇮🇷 The United States is considering providing military protection to oil and gas tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, Politico reports.

A source told the outlet that Washington is weighing naval escorts to ensure continued energy shipments. Concerns are growing that energy markets could face pressure as the military campaign expands geographically. The Strait of Hormuz is critical for natural gas and crude exports, especially from Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

If the US begins escorting tankers, it would significantly increase the risk of American warships being struck by Iranian missiles. US naval forces were previously moved out of the Persian Gulf to reduce vulnerability. Reentering the Strait would sharply raise that risk.

🇺🇸 US journalist Jonathan Larsen, writing on Substack, claims that U.S. troops are being told the Iran war is part of a biblical “End Times” scenario.

Citing the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), Larsen reports that more than 110 complaints were filed within two days from over 40 units across at least 30 military installations, covering every branch of the armed forces. The complaints allege that commanders framed the war with Iran as divinely ordained and tied to Armageddon.

One non-commissioned officer said a commander told troops the conflict was “part of God’s divine plan,” referencing the Book of Revelation and claiming President Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus” to ignite events leading to Christ’s return. The NCO, a Christian, said the remarks disturbed service members of different faiths and harmed morale and cohesion.

MRFF president Mikey Weinstein, a former Air Force officer, said the organization has been “inundated” with similar reports since U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran began. He argues that injecting apocalyptic Christian rhetoric into official military briefings violates the Constitution and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which prohibit religious endorsement within the chain of command.

The article also points to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s open promotion of evangelical Christianity inside the Pentagon, including regular prayer meetings and Bible studies attended by senior officials. Critics say this reflects a broader trend of Christian nationalist influence under the Trump administration, particularly in policies aligned with Israel and the Middle East.

Larsen frames the issue as a breakdown of the traditional separation between church and state in the U.S. military. Whether the Pentagon will act on the complaints remains unclear.
