"If you kill or threaten Americans anywhere in the world—as Iran has—then we will hunt you down, and we will kill you."
“The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal—and now they are suffering the consequences,” U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a statement on X on Sunday after U.S. and Israeli airpower eliminated Iran’s Supreme Leader and set about dismantling the Islamic regime.
The United States and Israel launched strikes at 1:15 a.m. ET on Feb. 28 against key elements of Iran’s security infrastructure, focusing on sites considered immediate threats. These included Revolutionary Guard command centers, air defense systems, missile and drone launch positions, and military airbases, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
It was “the most lethal, most complex and most-precision aerial operation in history,” Hegseth said.
