The U. S. Customs and Border Protection ( CBP ) agency has alerted all field offices that Iran or its proxies may attempt to transport “operatives, money, or materials” across the southern or northern U. S. borders to conduct a terrorist attack against Americans. An agency letter obtained on Wednesday by Only the News provided more information about this warning.
The letter, issued by the CBP’s Office of Field Operations, urged employees to keep a “heightened position due to ongoing surveillance risks”. It brought attention to a new planned invasion by Hezbollah, which is thought to have been a forerunner to attacks on American targets by Iran-backed Hezbollah against Jewish children in the Golan Heights. Israel’s death of a Hamas head in Tehran was even mentioned as a component that may cause more hostilities and possible reprisals against the US.
The memo notes that” the seniority of the targets, the sensitive areas where the hits are carried out, and the near simultaneity of them” indicate that Iran and its regional proxies are concerned about escalating tensions and that they may seek additional reprisals.
There may be attempts to cross U.S. borders to support operations inside the country because of the Egyptian government’s important influence and presence there, according to the memo. CBP employees were advised to take more stringent protection measures, including implementing “hardening steps” at ports of entry and conducting high rankings operations.
Also, the letter urged engagement with national, state, and local law enforcement partners to “deter, stop, prevent, or react to a terrorism attack against the United States”.
Additionally, the memo confirmed earlier intelligence reports that Tren de Aragua, a group with a base in Venezuela, had moved significant resources from the United States ‘ northeast to northeastern says. Knowledge suggests that TdA workers, especially those operating in Denver, have been “given a natural light to fire on or strike law police”.
This warning from within the Department of Homeland Security, led by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, is one of the most severe reminders of the potential election-year consequences of the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, particularly those that loosened border security and unfroze billions of dollars to Iran, a U. S. designated state sponsor of terrorism.
A number of dramatic developments involving terrorist threats are the subject of the memo. Authorities in Austria canceled Taylor Swift concerts on Wednesday over fears of potential terrorism. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn discovered a Pakistani man’s arrest nearly a month earlier, alleging that he collaborated with Iran to carry out assassinations against various political figures, including former president Donald Trump.
In addition, a major military base near Washington, D. C., Fort Belvoir in Virginia, suddenly closed its gates to non-authorized and public travel due to unspecified security threats. In May, a nearby base, the Marine headquarters at Quantico, Virginia, also arrested two Jordanian men for attempting to enter the installation without authorization.
Walid Phares, a national security expert who has advised several presidential candidates and collaborates closely with the United States ‘ counterterrorism efforts, reported to *Just the News * that he thinks Iran may be arranging terrorist attacks and threatening to use force to leverage a better deal with the Biden administration. After his arrest on July 12 and the administration’s subsequent weeks of delay, advocates expressed concern.
” Iran’s leaders want chaos because, in chaos, they can do whatever they want in the region, including attacking Israel and the Arabs”, Phares said. Why was n’t the public informed, is the most important query for the public? Congress needs to start asking these questions”.
Additionally, Phares noted that significant financial transactions are involved in the Iran deal, which includes both nuclear weapons and financial transactions. ” It’s a deal over$ 150 billion, and the regime is undoubtedly signaling that if you expose anything we’re doing or our agents are doing, we’re off the deal”, he added.
