About this episode
Religion keeps coming up when Trump administration officials discuss their joint military operation with Israel against Iran.
This kind of rhetoric comes as concerns grow over the crumbling of the separation between church and state in the Trump administration’s military. Now, more than two dozen democratic congresspeople are requesting an investigation into a report that some military leaders are using apocalyptic theology in briefings about the conflict – saying that Trump is anointed by Jesus to cause Armageddon.
How is religion showing up in the war against Iran?
