The prayer focused primarily on the president of the United States and the American troops currently serving in the Iran war, which was perpetrated by the republican administration in conjunction with the Israeli one almost a week ago.

We pray for your grace and protection for him. We pray for your grace and protection for our troops and all the men and women who serve in our armed forces,” the prayer said.

Since the beginning of the conflict, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRNA), a total of more than 1,000 people have died. In addition, more than 5,400 civilians, including 100 children, have been injured.
