US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has begun using explicitly religious language to describe military operations.
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is framing the Iran conflict as a divinely sanctioned crusade.
KEY POINTS
- Hegseth used the Easter rescue of an airman to draw explicit parallels with Christ's resurrection.
- Pope Leo XIV has publicly condemned the use of Christian theology to justify the US-Iran war.
- This religious framing complicates diplomatic solutions and risks validating Iranian propaganda about a 'crusader' threat.
