After a US military strike targeting the Iranian regime’s nuclear ground, Iran responded with a largely symbolic and obedient missile attack targeting one of our military bases.
When President Donald Trump ordered the removal of top Iranian officer Qasem Soleimani, the world’s largest national sponsor and dedicated anti-AU administration took a similar response in 2020. Again, the response was largely symbolic.
We cannot tolerate nuclear-armed Iran, but it is unlikely that they will seek a full war with the United States. The dissatisfied and oppressed population, the US allies surrounding them, and the strong US military – Ayatollahs will certainly lose. (Related: Iran attacks US Air Force Base in Qatar)
Still, Iran has another strategy that we need to stay vigilant. US sleeping pill cells are waiting to be hostilely activated from within our borders.

That happened before. Our intelligence community believes Attempts to assassinate former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former national security adviser John Bolton It was the preferred means for Iran to revenge Soleimani.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, the Department of Homeland Security issued a threat assessment saying, “Iran relies on individuals with existing access to the United States for surveillance and fatal conspiracy.”
Law enforcement caught more than 1,500 Iranians at the southern border under the previous administrationhowever, despite warnings about sleeper cells from their own institutions, the Biden-Harris Mallorkas administration has released almost half of them to the country. With vigilance, these statistics reveal just a few of the risks we face. The most dangerous and secret Iranian agents will probably avoid capturing them. So they’ll be part of the millions of “gotaways” that Biden has put into our country. Therefore, the threat within the community today is much greater than when Biden DHS announced its assessment.
A reasonable and serious immigration system cannot allow a large number of hostile and hostile immigrants to enter the country without even a small screening. Unfortunately, for the past four years, the United States has not had a reasonable and serious immigration system. The previous administration did not just reject millions of illegal entrants. We now know that the border patrols have been ordered to leave certain parts of the southern border vulnerable and vulnerable, especially the ones. I saw it. You saw it. We can be sure that the Iranian regime saw it and exploited it. (Related: Karoline Leavitt warns that leakers who supplied the CNN Iran Info FBI are coming for them)
President Trump has made great strides in securing borders and beginning to reverse the negative effects of the Biden-Harris era. Obviously, President Trump’s leader has placed dampers on Iran’s plans for a more obvious attack and military strategy. During last year’s presidential election, Islamic revolutionary security guards in Iran have planned to prevent him from returning to the White House to assassinate President Trump to activate the US sleeper cell. Fearing to face strong America head on, we can expect Iran to rely more on their agents here.
Under the guidance of current Secretary Christi Noem, Iran is likely to continue its efforts to advance plots of individuals, including current and former US officials, in our hometown soils, according to the latest DHS Homeland threat assessment.
As the White House is warnings about the bedrooms, all branches of the government must act quickly and work together to undo the damage to the previous administration’s intentionally weak border security.
By passing both one big beautiful bill that increases support for border security and infrastructure, and the Stopped Illegal Entry Act, which targets and punishes criminal illegal immigrants, we can make enduring changes that will irritate the future efforts of open boundary politicians and hostile foreign regimes.
As the administration performs surgery to combat sleeper cells, Americans can do their part. If you see something suspicious, Report to DHS via the local tip. If there is a time to set aside political differences and unite as a nation, then it is now.
Through President Trump’s strong leadership and unified efforts from law enforcement and civilians, we can fight back the threats from enemies within our borders to our hometowns.
