Donald Trump's recent military strike on Iran was accompanied by a brief speech where he invoked God's name multiple times. The characterization of Iran as the top state sponsor of terror is misleading, as the US has engaged in extensive military violence throughout its history. The speech showcased a recurring theme of religious undertones in US foreign policy, indicating a deepening intertwining of spirituality with military action, which has been present in previous statements by Trump and raises concerns over the separation of church and state.
In his address following a military strike on Iran, Trump invoked God's name repeatedly, thanking Him and urging blessings for Israel and America, revealing a troubling trend of religious justification for military action.
Iran is inaccurately labeled the world's number one state sponsor of terror, while the United States has historically engaged in violence worldwide, questioning the narrative espoused by US leaders.
