As U.S. cities ramp up security measures following strikes on Iranian facilities, intelligence experts warn that Iranian sleeper cells could already be nestled within American borders, ready to strike at any moment. The threat level has reached a critical point not seen since the aftermath of 9/11.
At a glance:
• Major U.S. cities have implemented heightened security measures following recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities
• Former FBI assistant director warns Iranian-linked sleeper cells may have infiltrated the U.S. during Biden’s border crisis
• Law enforcement agencies are deploying additional forces to protect potential “soft targets” including religious sites and tourist attractions
• President Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran to be implemented over 24 hours
• National security experts warn that Iran’s proxy groups could strike without direct orders, creating an unpredictable threat landscape
Heightened Security Across America
Major cities across the United States are on high alert following recent military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The New York Police Department has increased patrols around religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites while coordinating closely with federal partners to ensure public safety.
Law enforcement agencies nationwide are deploying additional forces to protect potential targets from retaliatory attacks by Iran or its proxies. The threat has prompted an unprecedented security response similar to post-9/11 measures, with particular concern for “soft targets” such as churches, synagogues, and tourist attractions.

Border Crisis Creates Perfect Storm
Chris Swecker, former FBI assistant director, has issued a stark warning about potential terrorist threats linked to the Biden administration’s border policies. Swecker believes pro-Iran militants may have entered the U.S. during a period of lax border enforcement, creating what he describes as “the greatest terrorist threat in the post-9/11 era.”
“I think there is a clear and present danger and the greatest terrorist threat in the post-9/11 era,” Swecker stated. The experienced intelligence official specifically pointed to Hezbollah and other Iran-linked groups that could have infiltrated sleeper agents into American communities during the border crisis.
A memo from Customs and Border Protection has raised specific concerns about Iranian nationals entering the U.S. illegally. The Department of Homeland Security has issued a bulletin warning about a “heightened threat environment” across the country, with federal authorities working alongside local law enforcement to bolster security measures.
Iran’s Lethal Network of Proxies
Intelligence experts have identified the Quds Force, an elite wing of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as the primary architect behind foreign operations against American interests. This shadowy organization maintains a network of allies collectively known as the Axis of Resistance, including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and various militant groups in Syria and Iraq.
These operatives could potentially carry out attacks without direct orders from Tehran, making them particularly dangerous and unpredictable. Swecker emphasized the irrational nature of potential attackers, stating, “It’s not rational. There’s nothing to be gained by going out and killing Americans, shooting up a shopping mall or a sporting event, or driving a truck through a parade.”
Despite President Trump’s announcement of a “complete and total ceasefire” agreement between Israel and Iran, U.S. cities remain vigilant. The ceasefire, to be phased in over 24 hours, provides diplomatic relief but does little to address the immediate threat from already-embedded sleeper cells that may operate independently of direct Iranian control.
National security experts continue to warn about Iran’s significant cyber capabilities and the potential for digital attacks on American infrastructure. Tracy Walder, a security expert, noted, “Iran is pretty cyber capable, to be completely honest. They have launched denial of service attacks successfully here in the United States.”
