Pete Hegseth hosted the first Pentagon Christian worship service since the Iran war began—and chose the moment to pray for “overwhelming violence.”
The self-styled “Secretary of War”, 45, has held the monthly gatherings since last May. Wednesday’s service took place as the U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran, dubbed “Operation Epic Fury,” moves into its fourth week, with 13 American service members killed and more than 200 wounded, per the Associated Press.
Hegseth read a prayer he attributed to the chaplain who ministered to the soldiers who seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a raid on Caracas in January. “Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation,” he told the livestreamed gathering of civilian employees and uniformed military personnel.
