“If You Kill Americans… We Will Kill You”
US Central Command released unclassified footage over the weekend showing U.S. military strikes targeting sites deep inside Iran.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a direct warning to Iranian leadership, saying the United States will respond decisively to any threats against Americans.
“If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation, and we will kill you,” Hegseth said.
Speaking during a press conference, Hegseth emphasized that the United States has the resources to sustain its military operations.
“Iran is hoping that we cannot sustain this, which is a really bad miscalculation for the IRGC,” he said. “There’s no shortage of American will here. We remember and honor our fallen — those six service members we will soon welcome at Dover who gave everything for their country and this mission.”
Hegseth said honoring those killed means strengthening the U.S. commitment to the operation.
“We remember them by rededicating ourselves even more fervently to this mission. Our commitment to our objectives only increases as our advantages continue to grow,” he said.
He also stressed that U.S. military stockpiles remain strong.
“We’ve got no shortage of munitions. Our stockpiles of defensive and offensive weapons allow us to sustain this campaign as long as necessary,” Hegseth said. “Our munition capacity continues to grow along with our operational advantage. Our capabilities are significant, and we have only just begun to fight — and to fight decisively.”
According to Admiral Brad Cooper, U.S. forces have destroyed more than 30 Iranian vessels during Operation Epic Fury.

Military officials also said Iranian missile attacks have dropped by roughly 90 percent following aggressive strikes carried out by U.S. B-2 bombers.
Seven U.S. service members have been killed during Operation Epic Fury.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump attended the dignified transfer ceremony for six of the fallen service members.
