The US is on high alert after Iran threatened to activate sleeper cells within American borders, following US airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Sleeper cells are individuals living inconspicuously in foreign nations, waiting for activation to carry out sabotage or attacks. Iran reportedly relayed the threat to Donald Trump at the G7 summit before the strikes. FBI and CBP have intensified surveillance, citing infiltration fears by Hezbollah-linked operatives. Though no credible threat has surfaced yet, authorities warn the danger level is “unprecedented,” especially with thousands of Iranian nationals having entered the US illegally in recent months.
