Pastor’s White House prayer claims Iranians seek death of all Jews

Evangelical pastor Franklin Graham, speaking at a White House event, claimed that Iranians seek to kill Jews worldwide and asserted that President Trump was chosen by God. Graham's remarks reflect long-standing tensions between the U.S. and Iran over Middle East policy and religious extremism. The comments underscore how religious leaders aligned with the Trump administration frame geopolitical conflicts in theological terms. Graham has long been a prominent voice in evangelical Christian circles and maintains close ties to the White House. The prayer illustrates how the administration engages faith leaders to mobilize their constituencies around foreign policy messaging.
