President Donald Trump exchanged threats with remnants of the Iranian regime ahead of the second day of the joint U.S.-Israeli regime-change strikes on the West Asian nation.
Tehran, evidently keen to test Trump's resolve despite losing most of its military and political leaders in Saturday's assassinations, sought to make good on its tough talk with continued retaliatory strikes in the region, killing at least three Americans, at least nine Israelis, and multiple victims in neighboring Arab states.
'We will hunt you down, and we will kill you.'
The U.S and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury on Saturday, aerially assassinating Iran's top brass — including the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the head of Iran's foreign intelligence unit, and the regime's adviser on the war with Israel — and destroying hundreds of "regime targets" including an Iranian Jamaran-class warship.
Following confirmation that their dictator, Ali Khamenei, was killed in the initial strikes, multitudes of Iranians gathered in Tehran's Enghelab Square to mourn his demise, while remaining elements of the regime vowed revenge.
Iran promptly responded with retaliatory strikes in Bahrain, Qatar, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan, and Oman — in several cases targeting U.S. military assets.
Abolfazl Shekarchi, a spokesman for the Iranian military, stated, "God willing, we will give a lesson to the U.S. and Israel that they have not experienced in their history," reported the Iranian state-linked Tasnim News Agency.

Amid more bluster from Iranian regimists who formed a transitional council to lead the country following Khamenei's death, President Donald Trump noted on Truth Social shortly after midnight on Sunday, "Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!"
Like Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made abundantly clear precisely what fate awaits those who would target American forces: "We will hunt you down, and we will kill you."
Iran — whose media alleged that over 200 people, including 145 children, were killed in the initial joint U.S.-Israel strikes — did not heed Trump's warning.
On Sunday morning, the decapitated regime launched another wave of missile and drone attacks on Israel and American military assets, including the U.S. Fifth Fleet's headquarters in Bahrain.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly claimed in a statement on Sunday that the Iranian military will continue to act "with power" and "frustrate the enemies as always."
Pezeshkian reportedly also characterized the attacks "by the American-Zionist axis" as a "declaration of open war with Muslims, especially Shiites in the world."
Amid the latest round of Iranian retaliation strikes, U.S. Central Command indicated that "as of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury."
'These are painful days.'
"Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty," CENTCOM noted further. "Major combat operations continue, and our response effort is ongoing."
After bombarding Tehran overnight, the Israeli Air Force announced late Sunday morning that it had "begun another wave of strikes in the heart of Tehran."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, "Our forces are now striking at the heart of Tehran with intensifying force, and this will only grow even stronger in the coming days. That said, these are painful days."
The U.S. has similarly executed another round of strikes against Iran, reported CBS News.
Trump told CNBC on Sunday that the American operation in Iran is "moving along very well, very well — ahead of schedule."

According to an old African proverb, “The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”
BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre is concerned this same dynamic is playing out among America’s younger generations today. Many young people feel scorned by policies and systems that favor older generations and immigrants while barring them from owning homes, starting families, and pursuing careers.
As housing prices skyrocket, wages remain flat, jobs get shipped overseas, and immigration transforms the workforce, political figures keep touting record stock-market levels as evidence of widespread economic success. But inflating asset values is far from the same thing as genuine national well-being.
If something doesn’t give soon, will our young folk lose hope in the system and start trying to destroy it?
On this episode of “The Auron MacIntyre Show,” Auron dives into this pressing question.
“The French Revolution was horrific, but it happened in part because the king really was making bad decisions. The Russian Revolution was an absolute nightmare, but it did happen because the czar was not doing a good job and was ignoring the needs of the people,” says Auron.
“The systems you're operating have to benefit most of the people involved because if they don't, there will eventually come a time where everyone either checks out or decides that they don't want to play this game anymore,” he warns.
When this happens, the results usually end up being “much worse” than the original predicaments that caused them.
Right now, the younger generations are being given the same advice that made older generations financially successful: “Work harder,” “[increase] your skill set,” “[put] your time in,” and “[make] wise financial decisions.”
While this is still “good advice to the individual,” says Auron, it’s no longer applicable to the masses due to how policies have shifted over time.
“You can't keep running the entire economy for Boomers and the laptop class. ... There has to be a buy-in or eventually people will get violent or apathetic — and you can't be angry or surprised when that ultimately happens,” he says.
“The affordability issue is going to be the issue. It just is. Like that and immigration are going to be one and two for probably the next 10 years at least, and so any Republican administration, any Trump administration, any (let's hope) JD Vance administration — they're going to have to address this problem,” Auron urges.
