Iran Declares Global Hunt for U.S., Israeli Military Personnel

Iran’s Armed Forces spokesperson, Abolfazl Shekarchi, has stated that American and Israeli military personnel and officials will no longer be safe anywhere in the world following recent strikes on Iranian infrastructure.

Shekarchi said the warning particularly applies to U.S. and Israeli Air Force pilots. “From now on, based on the information we have about you, your walking areas, resorts and tourist centers around the world will also not be safe for you,” he stated.

He added that Iran is monitoring officials, commanders, pilots, and soldiers from the U.S. and Israel. “The hour is not far off when Iran will drag them out of their shelters with shame and humiliation and force them to suffer the punishment they deserve,” he said.

The remarks come after U.S. and Israeli air forces carried out strikes that caused damage to infrastructure in Iran. Iranian officials said the attacks did not dismantle the country’s leadership and contributed to increased domestic unity.

Tehran has rejected the possibility of negotiations and indicated it is prepared to continue military operations.

Separately, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said U.S. forces struck an Iranian missile manufacturing facility in Karaj under Operation Epic Fury. The command said the facility had been used to assemble ballistic missiles that posed threats to U.S. personnel, regional countries, and commercial shipping.

Satellite imagery released by the command showed structures visible on March 1, 2026, reduced to rubble by March 11, with multiple buildings collapsing. The facility was assessed to be no longer operational, with no visible impact beyond the site in the available images.

The command also struck Esfahan Khomeynishahr Drone Production Plant that produced Shahed one-way attack drones.
