Pete Hegseth stressed that the era of impunity for Iranian forces is over, and every hostile step will be followed by an immediate strike.
If you kill Americans or threaten them anywhere in the world – as Iran has done – we will hunt you down and kill you
He added that American forces have a clear order to identify and eliminate threats at their inception, leaving the enemy no chance for retreat or new provocations.
We will not tolerate powerful missiles aimed at the American people. These missiles will be destroyed along with Iran's missile production. The Iranian navy will be destroyed. And, as President Trump has said all his life, Iran will never have nuclear weapons
Determination to end the conflict on Washington's terms
The leadership of the War Department assured that the operation would continue until the full fulfillment of the goal outlined by President Trump. The main message is that the United States is ready for radical actions for the sake of its people's security and the destruction of the enemy's missile potential.
We did not start this conflict, but we will end it
