Kristi Noem, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a three-month terror alert for the United States based on the rogue Islamic regime in Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and President Donald Trump's decision to blow up a number of the facilities working on that project.
"The ongoing Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States," she said. "Low-level cyber attacks against US networks by pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely, and cyber actors affiliated with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against US networks."
She noted that Iran also has a longstanding commitment to target those officials in the U.S. it views "as responsible for the death of an Iranian military commander killed in January 2020."
And if the Iranian regime issues a religious proclamation, the threat from "violent extremists" already in the U.S. could increase.
There are an unknown number of those people already inside the U.S., as Joe Biden let in millions of unvetted illegal aliens during his time in the White House.
A report from the Gateway Pundit said Iran "appears to be gearing up for a major retaliatory strike against America after seeing its three major nuclear facilities were bombed two days ago."
President Trump announced over the weekend the U.S. finished a "successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, where nuclear weapons work reportedly was going on.
Iran has responded with rockets launched at U.S. military sites in the Middle East, but reports confirm those mostly have been destroyed before arriving at their tarets.
Noem's statement noted, "Multiple recent Homeland terrorist attacks have been motivated by anti-Semitic or anti-Israel sentiment, and the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict could contribute to US-based individuals plotting additional attacks."
