Hundreds of U.S. troops across dozens of units and installations have submitted complaints to the non-profit watchdog, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), since the attack about combat unit commanders providing Christian reasoning for the war, during which at least four U.S. troops have already been killed, independent journalist Jonathan Larsen reports on Substack.
Non-commissioned officers (NCO) who attended a briefing Monday told the MRFF that a combat-unit commander “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”
The commander also argued that Trump “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth” and that the Iran war is part of God’s plan, the NCO claimed.
Tonight is one of those rare astronomical events. The blood moon.
The moon will be eclipsed at the 33rd minute of the hour 6:33 a.m. eastern daylight time and 3:33 a.m. Western daylight time.. It will take place of course on March 3rd, 3 3 at the 33. It begins at 3:44 a.m. eastern Daylight Time..
There is no path of totality it could be seen widespread across the planet. At least when darkness prevails during the eclipse time.
This world war rages in the Middle East and expands, the president has a strange rash on his neck, and everyone just feels more and more like the off-kilter world is going upside down. Life during wartime. Life during the blood moon..

So much for the Rotten Tomatoes.. the bad reviews.. the critics be damned. SCREAM 7 has made enough money that people are now clamoring for a SCREAM 8!
The film is expected to scare up around $60 million by the end of the weekend, far surpassing Scream VI’s franchise best opening weekend of $44 million.
Scream 7 also saw the best opening day/previews for the franchise at $28.8M.
Pre-sale tickets happening before review embargo was lifted most likely helped.
Pre-sales were heavy with 53% of the audience buying their tickets within the last week or a week ago..
It was taken by people inside windows of a cruise ship..
WHAT??? A 1911 historical GHOST SHIP spotted in Antartica. This isn’t AI. These people are on a cruise in Antarctica and from their cabin room window they spot this.
But there is no way it could withstand over 100 years of storms and terrain, yet still be out to sea.… pic.twitter.com/Auxk7PT8LK
Casualties have been reported in Operation Epic Fury..
MORE..
US Central Command has stated that as of 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on March 1, three U.S. service members have been tragically killed while serving in Operation Epic Fury. Five additional service members were seriously injured.
Officials say several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions and are in the process of being cleared to return to duty. Major combat operations remain ongoing as response efforts continue.
According to Iranian reports, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was killed together with his bodyguard during an Israeli airstrike on the country, while under house arrest.
Serving as Iran’s sixth president between 2005 and 2013, Ahmadinejad is remembered as one of the Islamic Republic’s most extreme and antisemitic voices. He was open about his aspiration to destroy Israel.
In the mean time, there are new fears that Iran will awaken “sleeper cells” in Western nations in response to military actions in the country..
It comes as one of Iran’s most senior grand ayatollahs declared it a religious obligation for all Muslims to avenge the death of the country’s supreme leader.

Iran’s militant and unyielding supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled the Islamic Republic for more than three decades, has died after an Israeli strike in Tehran after his compound was reduced to rubble..
“Khamenei was the contemporary Middle East’s longest-serving autocrat. He did not get to be that way by being a gambler. Khamenei was an ideologue, but one who ruthlessly pursued the preservation and protection of his ideology, often taking two steps forward and one step back,” Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of FDD’s Iran program told media..
The assassination of the second leader of the Islamic Republic, who had no designated successor, would throw its future into doubt and raise the prospect of a protracted conflict, given Iranian threats of retaliation.
Trump said his death is “the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country.” The death occurred after a joint U.S. and Israeli aerial bombardment that targeted Iranian military and governmental sites.
MEANWHILE.. Signs in the sky..
A rare celestial event will be taking place in the sky on Saturday night, as six planets are expected to be visible in what is being called a “planetary parade.”
Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn were all be lined up along an arc at sunset and visible to the naked eye creating a literal parade of planets.
The alignment only occurs every few years, with the next one not until 2028.
Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are frequently seen in the night sky, but the addition of Venus and Mercury made this planet lineup particularly noteworthy.
Breaking News: We are now seeing what appears to be a regional war.
Explosions are being reported in Abu Dhabi, the Capital of the United Arab Emirates. At least 6 different countries are now reporting attacks or explosions (Iran, Israel, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Kuwait).
At least 7 countries have closed or restricted their airspace.
Russia also just called out the United States, with Dmitry Medvedev accusing President Trump of hypocrisy, sarcastically referring to Trump as “the peacemaker” who has “once again shown his true colors.”
Developing…
U.S. President Donald Trump has appealed to the Iranian people to “take over your government.”
Smoke was seen rising in Tehran on Saturday after the U.S. and Israel said it launched an attack on Iran. The first apparent strike happened near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.Updated 5:58 AM EST, February 28, 2026
The U.S. and Israel launched a major attack on targets across Iran on Saturday.
U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iranians to take cover during the strikes, but then: “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.” It was an extraordinary appeal that suggested the allies could be seeking to end of the country’s theocracy after decades of tensions.
In a video posted on social media, Trump claimed Iran has continued to develop its nuclear program and plans to develop missiles to reach the U.S.
The first strikes of the attack appeared to target the compound home to Iran’s 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in downtown Tehran. It wasn’t immediately clear if he was there at the time. Smoke could be seen rising from the Iranian capital.
Iran appears to be striking US targets in several countries at once, with blasts heard from the beaches of Dubai to the streets of Doha.
Things are moving fast. It’s not clear if those explosions were the sound of missiles being intercepted, or hitting their targets.
