.@SECWAR “Iran has terrorized the United States and our interests for 47 years... Their core industries are state-sponsored terrorism, proxy militias, underground networks, ballistic missiles, and a violent, messianic Islamist ideology chasing an apocalyptic endgame.  A regime like that—refusing to abandon its nuclear ambitions—is not just a regional problem. It is a direct threat to America, to freedom, to civilization.”

Iran Air Flight 655 (July 3, 1988): The U.S. Navy cruiser USS Vincennes mistakenly shot down a civilian Iranian Airbus A300 over the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 people on board (mostly Iranian civilians). This remains the single largest direct U.S.-caused loss of Iranian lives in this period. During the 1980s "Tanker War" phase of the Iran-Iraq War, U.S. naval forces engaged Iranian forces (e.g., Operation Praying Mantis in 1988), resulting in some Iranian military deaths (dozens reported, but not hundreds). No large-scale ground combat occurred. Targeted killings: The most prominent recent example is the January 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani and several other Iranian/Iraqi personnel (estimates around 10 total deaths in that strike, including Soleimani). The U.S. did provide significant support to Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988), including intelligence, economic aid, and allowing dual-use technology sales. This indirectly contributed to Iran's massive casualties in that war (estimated at 500,000–1,000,000 Iranian deaths total, military and civilian).

@DOWResponse @SecWar I hate to say it, however, it is inevitable that boots on the ground will happen. Even with that probability, I still support removing Iran.

@DOWResponse @SecWar I know. They've been the villain in every movie. They used to be called Iraq and Vietnam and Russia and China.

@DOWResponse @SecWar

@DOWResponse @SecWar

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar And the fake country of Israel has terrorized the world since 1948.

@DOWResponse @SecWar Iran is executing its youth. The world is watching. #StopExecutionsInIran #SayTheirNames

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar Yea.. literally everything you said applies to the CIA.. but the CIA have been terrorizing us 80 years & are within our reach. If you can't stop them, how the hell are you going to stop Iran? Make it make sense!

@DOWResponse @IsraelWarRoom @SecWar #IRGCTerroristIran #ThankYouTrump‌ #ThankYouBiBi‌

Simulate all the conditions for the reappearance of the Mahdi, then say he emerges from Mecca with 313 people, and after that he pledges allegiance to Trump and joins the U.S. army to fight against the Islamic Republic. This way, you both free Shia from the myth of the Hidden Imam, and make those supporters think they are among the same Islamic clerics that the Mahdi is supposed to kill—so their morale collapses and the war ends faster.

@DOWResponse @SecWar You stupid fucking MAGA FILTH IRAN doesn't have to MAKE NUKES when THEY CAN BUY THEM !! brrrrring .. HELLO, KIM JUNG UN?? Trump knows #MAGA are Dumb as Fucking ROCKS

@DOWResponse @SecWar That is nonsense , he is describing Israel who gave 400 nukes ?

@DOWResponse @SecWar Iran's actions have significant implications for global stability, particularly in regions where their proxy networks are active.

@DOWResponse @SecWar "Not just a regional problem. A direct threat to America, to freedom, to civilization." For 47 years, we treated them like a nuisance. Hegseth just told the truth: they're an existential threat. Now they're not a threat at all‼️

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar End the enemy. Don’t negotiate. Bury them….its not that hard to understand.

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar Right man for the job. Sec war Hegseth gets it….

@DOWResponse @SecWar “The whole world is fed up with them, yet they still haven’t come to their senses — thieves, criminals, double-faced, cursed, monkeys, dogs, lowlifes, uneducated, ignorant fools. And these American politicians say they are fighting a war.”

@DOWResponse @SecWar Hallucinatory paranoia on stilts. Hesgeth is in need of serious help.

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar But I thought you “totally and completely OBLITERATED” their nuclear capabilities ? Or was that just another fabrication to make the first mistake sound good ?

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar They attacked nobody . The entire world knows Israel is the problem with an insatiable blood lust.

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar Probably Netanyahu’s as well!

@DOWResponse @SecWar For 47 years all the terror, all the administrations ignored it while Iran became stronger. God Bless Trump and this administration!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@DOWResponse @SecWar Terrorized "interests". I'll translate. They have stood in our way of stealing.

@DOWResponse @SecWar Shame on you, Department of War Crimes.

@DOWResponse @SecWar Says the white christian nationalist Nazi war monger/war criminal

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar We all know now who this war was fought for. How is a great empire like the US being pimped out by a small country like Israel?

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar @SecWar, @marcorubio Please protect Americans from the Islamic teachings that chant "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" or anyone who doesnt support this religion. Please revoke their visas and deport them! Please protect our future and help our country back to its roots.

@DOWResponse @SecWar iran and venezuela have cause the deaths of American Citizens. The United States of America and the world are safer because the terrorist dictators in both countries have been eliminated. THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP and SECRETARY of WAR PETE HEGSETH !

@DOWResponse @SecWar How about a website dedicated to all the people around the world the IRGC has killed. Give Iranians a website they can see all the Syrians, all the Iraqis, Israelis, the Palestinians, Kenyans, Kuwait, Qatars, etc..etc.. They just don't know how many people the IRGC killed.

@DOWResponse @SecWar This is your ugly history

@DOWResponse @SecWar The people of the world must urgently get rid of this vile Zionist evangelist gang. What they promise to humanity as virtue, democracy, peace and law is HELL! A mine goo doom phics turned our heavenly world into hell.

@DOWResponse @SecWar Sorry that is how you understand america and Israeli blackmail you sorry USA claims to have strong army then let them try ground operations in Iranian Land try

@DOWResponse @SecWar May God bless Operation EPIC FURY! May His holy angels go before and behind and around all of our American warriors AND our BEST allies, the Israeli warriors 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇮🇱

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar Hmmm how many times are need: The last major bombings he confirmed occurred just a few weeks ago, at the end of February 2026, but his most famous quote about having "obliterated" the program comes from the major operation in 21-22 June 2025

@DOWResponse @DeptofWar @SecWar

@DOWResponse @SecWar Thank you for highlighting the troops. Describing their jobs, and giving them the respect and focus they deserve. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
