DONALD Trump has turned the White House into a prayer fortress, summoning a “God Squad” of religious heavyweights to help him pray for a crushing victory over Iran.
As US and Israeli forces continue to pound the regime in “Operation Epic Fury,” the President reportedly paused the fire and fury of the situation room for a dose of divine intervention.
In a dramatic Oval Office huddle, sources say the Commander-in-Chief bowed his head with evangelical leaders, rabbis, and Catholic bishops, asking the Almighty to ensure a “total and complete” win against the Ayatollahs.
One insider revealed: “The President doesn’t just want the best tech and the best troops; he wants the Big Man upstairs on his side. He was very clear—he’s looking for a victory of biblical proportions.”
The prayer summit comes as Trump tells the world he wants a direct hand in picking Iran’s next leader following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. While critics at home and abroad call for “restraint,” the Don is doubling down on his “Maximum Pressure” 2.0.
A White House spokesperson remained tight-lipped on the specifics of the prayers but confirmed the President “values the spiritual strength of the nation” during times of conflict.
But it wasn’t all “peace be with you.” After the “Amen,” Trump was straight back to business, warning Tehran that any retaliation on US soil would be met with a response “the likes of which the world has never seen.”
This latest surge in Middle East tensions follows years of escalating friction between Washington and Tehran. Here is how we got to the Oval Office prayer circle:
Since returning to the White House in January 2025, President Trump has reinstated a “Maximum Pressure” campaign, aiming to bankrupt the Iranian regime and dismantle its nuclear ambitions.
Operation Epic Fury: Launched on February 28, 2026, this joint US-Israeli military campaign has seen precision strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, naval assets, and leadership hubs.
With the confirmed death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei during the initial strikes, the region is in a state of flux. Trump has publicly rejected Khamenei’s son as a successor, calling him a “lightweight.”
Trump has long maintained a bedrock of support among American evangelicals. By bringing religious leaders into the White House during active combat, he is signaling that this isn’t just a political battle, but a moral mission.
