Hardline voices within Iran are reportedly framing current geopolitical tensions through an apocalyptic religious lens, with some figures portraying Donald Trump as “Dajjal,” the deceptive end-times figure found in Islamic eschatology. In this framework, Dajjal is seen as a corrupt global deceiver who rises before a final battle between good and evil. According to the article, certain Iranian clerics and allied figures have used this symbolism to interpret the growing U.S.-Israel alliance and regional conflict.

The report explains that Islamic end-times beliefs often center around three figures: Dajjal, the Mahdi, and Isa (the Islamic name for Jesus). Some hardliners believe that military confrontation in the Middle East is connected to these prophetic expectations and that divine intervention will ultimately defeat their enemies. This worldview, the article argues, may help explain why some factions remain defiant despite military pressure and diplomatic isolation.
