With about half of Americans supporting some version of Christian nationalist ideology, it's impossible to ignore the centrality of that ideology to Trump-Hegseth's war against Iran.

As Zachary B. Wolf says,

"Hegseth has long wanted to reprogram the country.

'America was founded as a Christian nation,' he said at a recent National Prayer Breakfast."

Pete Hegseth wanted an ‘American Crusade.’ Now he’s leading a war in the Middle East

In the war the US launched on the Islamic Republic, the US secretary of war, as he prefers to be called, likes to talk about how the Christian God is on his side.

CNN

"Hegseth talks often about how God is on his side and has said that Iran shouldn’t doubt the US’s resolve because it is backed by God. He said, 'Our capabilities are better. Our will is better. Our troops are better. The providence of our almighty God is there protecting those troops, and we’re committed to this mission.'”
