Iran Made Threats Before U.S. Strike
Iran allegedly issued threats to former President Donald Trump before American troops bombed three nuclear sites in Iran. NBC News reports that Iran had a third party deliver a message at the G7 summit in Canada. The message threatened that Iranian sleeper cells would carry out attacks within the United States. Iran also threatened to attack U.S. bases in West Asia. No comment came from either country's embassy on the report. Trump, after a return from the G7 summit, held a meeting with national security advisors.
Fears of Iranian Capabilities in Europe
European Union officials were worried that Iran might strike American citizens in Europe. The threat came after Trump-ordered U.S. airstrikes. The U.S. military attacked nuclear facilities based in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow. As a result, U.S. law enforcement heightened security in large cities. The Department of Homeland Security issued warnings of possible threats, including violence, cyberattacks, and Jewish riots.
Border Security and Domestic Measures
Tom Homan, a former border enforcement official, said that approximately 1,200 Iranians came to the U.S. during the immigration policies of President Joe Biden. Following the airstrikes, law enforcement bolstered security in Washington, D.C., and New York City.
U.S. Military Action in Support of Israel
As part of its backing for Israel, the U.S. initiated a large-scale airstrike on early Sunday morning. The military employed sophisticated bombers and missiles to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. Three nuclear installations were destroyed, according to officials. The mission involved more than 120 varied aircraft. 14 bunker-buster bombs were among the missiles employed.
