Pete Hegseth Reveals Details of ‘Operation Epic Fury’ Strike That Killed Ali Khamenei

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shared more details about Operation Epic Fury, an overnight mission that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. 

President Donald Trump had warned Iran that it should give up its nuclear weapons or face unfortunate consequences, but the Persian country refused to make a deal, Hegseth said. And it paid a dear price. 

“The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal — and now they are suffering the consequences,” Hegseth said. “For almost fifty years, Iran has targeted and killed Americans, always seeking the world’s most powerful weapons to further their radical cause. Last night, unlike any previous president, President Trump began dealing with this cancer.”

So the U.S. and Israel reportedly killed over 40 senior Iranian military leaders. 

Hegseth said that Iran’s missile production and navy will be destroyed, along with any hope to build a nuclear weapon. 

“The United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it. If you kill or threaten Americans anywhere in the world — as Iran has — then we will hunt you down, and we will kill you,” Hegseth wrote.  Our warriors are the best in the world, and they are fully unleashed to achieve our objectives. May God’s providence protect them in this vital mission.”

In January, Iran threatened to kill President Donald Trump. And in February, Khamenei allegedly threatened America’s military. 

Earlier today, Trump confirmed that Khamenei was dead.
