US Warns Iran: 'Will Hunt You Down' for Threatening Americans

• US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a stark warning to Iran after a US-Israeli operation, stating, "If you kill or threaten Americans... we will hunt you down, and we will kill you."
• The operation, code-named OPERATION EPIC FURY, was launched on President Donald Trump's orders, described as the "most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history."
• Trump claimed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, though Tehran denied it; Israel confirmed the death of IRGC commander Mohammad Pakpour.
• Coordinated US-Israeli strikes targeted IRGC command centers, missile facilities, air defense systems, and naval assets across Iran, resulting in at least 201 deaths and 747 wounded.
• Hegseth vowed to destroy Iran's missile production and navy, reiterating that "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon"; Iran retaliated with strikes on US bases and allied sites in the Middle East.
