U.S. Ramps Up Surveillance Amid Fears Of Iran-Backed Sleeper Cells\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

President Trump stated Thursday that a\u00a0potential U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear targets could occur within a two-week window<\/a>. This announcement aligns with an uptick in U.S. military activity across the USNORTHCOM, USEUCOM, and USCENTCOM\u00a0theaters, including\u00a0airlift missions, the deployment of aerial refueling tankers<\/a>, and the repositioning of naval assets<\/a>\u2014indicators consistent with pre-strike staging.\u00a0While officially framed around countering Iran’s nuclear program, the operation so far suggests regime change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, in the Homeland, concerns are flourishing over the\u00a0possible activation of Iran-backed operatives<\/strong>. According to CBS News<\/a>, intelligence and law enforcement officials remain focused on Hezbollah-linked sleeper cells and IRGC proxy networks, which could be directed to carry out retaliatory actions if the U.S. initiates\u00a0kinetic attacks against Iran to support Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s more from CBS News, citing multiple sources…\u00a0<\/p>\n

As President Trump is contemplating potential U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, <\/em>law enforcement officials have stepped up surveillance of Iran-backed operatives in the United States<\/em><\/strong>, multiple sources told CBS News.<\/em><\/p>\n

FBI Director Kash Patel has increased efforts to monitor possible <\/em>domestic sleeper cells linked to Hezbollah<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization backed by Iran \u2014 since Israel’s Operation Rising Lion offensive began earlier this month, U.S. officials said.<\/em><\/p>\n

. . .\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The <\/em>threat from Iranian operatives has worried<\/em><\/strong> current and former administration officials since Iranian General Qasem Soleimani was assassinated on Mr. Trump’s orders in January 2020.<\/em><\/p>\n

CBS noted:<\/p>\n

Late last year, federal prosecutors charged an operative of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and two U.S.-based people with <\/em>plotting to surveil and assassinate critics of the Iranian regime<\/em><\/strong>. The IRGC operative allegedly told investigators he was pushed by unnamed IRGC officials to plan an attack against Mr. Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n

The threat on the Homeland has never been graver given the Biden-Harris regime of globalists facilitated the greatest invasion this nation has ever seen on the southern border, with millions of unvetted migrants, criminals, cartel gangsters, and\u00a0terrorists<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In late 2024,\u00a0former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams spoke on the\u00a0Shawn Ryan Show about\u00a0Al-Qaeda terrorists on American soil<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ryan asked\u00a0Adams:\u00a0“I just want to clarify. You are 100% certain that there are 1,000 plus\u00a0Al-Qaeda-trained fighters within the U.S. borders?”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Adams, currently a global threat advisor with extensive experience in Middle Eastern affairs, responded:\u00a0<\/em>“Well, Al-Qaeda says they trained and deployed a thousand for this attack. First off, I think there are more than a thousand Al-Qaeda members in the United States, but for the Homeland Attack, that number is based on what Al-Qaeda is saying, so\u00a0they could exaggerate it; however, they did have about 1,400 in the Hamas Attack so the number is not off from what they did in the first round of attacks.”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Frightening information to hear. Former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams is warning of an IRGC U.S. Homeland attack in retaliation for Soleimani. She says 1,000 or more terrorists may already be here and discusses the \u201cInvisible Bomb\u201d undetectable to magnetometers and now\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/tVGLhHGqZI<\/a><\/p>\n

The overlap between the Israel-Iran conflict and an elevated U.S. counter-terrorism posture signals a rising domestic threat environment should President Trump decide on direct military action<\/strong>. Open southern borders over the past four years via the globalists in the Biden-Harris regime have markedly increased uncertainty about the number of IRGC- or Hezbollah-linked operatives inside the country. In the event of a U.S. strike on Iran, these terror networks could conduct retaliatory attacks against high-visibility or soft targets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
