US-based terror ‘sleeper cells’ could be ramping up after attack on Iran: ‘On high alert’

A former ATF official warns sleeper cells linked to Iran could increase following recent attacks and killing of Ayatollah Khamenei, with a Texas shooting under terrorism investigation.

  • Over the weekend, officials warned that US sleeper cells could mobilize after Iran attacks and the Austin, Texas weekend bar shooting, which is being investigated as potential terrorism.
  • Religious indoctrination in Iran teaches some they will be rewarded in the afterlife, prompting radicalized individuals to act on direct calls to violence.
  • Media circulated photos showing 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne wearing religious-branded clothing and reported Iranian imagery, which investigators say suggests ideological motives.
  • Republican lawmakers argued that possible domestic threats justify lifting the pause on Department of Homeland Security funding, while Sen. Tom Cotton said the FBI treats threats seriously and Democrats remain skeptical.
  • Officials said, `You have people who entered the United States illegally and may have a strong affiliation to Iran or a direct affiliation to Iran, and they might be here for the purpose of acting against us,` leaving agencies on high alert after Iran attacks.
