• The U.S. carried out airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, escalating tensions amid warnings of potential sleeper cell threats and retaliation through cyberattacks or violence. The DHS issued alerts of a heightened threat environment, urging vigilance as the conflict between Iran and Israel intensifies.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Days before a series of U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iran reportedly warned President Trump of potential sleeper cell terror threats in the United States. The communication, delivered via an intermediary at the G7 summit in Canada, highlighted escalating tensions as the conflict between Iran and Israel intensified, officials familiar with the situation told NBC News.

The strikes, which reportedly destroyed three nuclear sites, were carried out after Iran’s foreign minister labeled the attacks “outrageous” and vowed retaliation. U.S. B-2 bombers dropped over a dozen bunker buster bombs on the sites, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing standoff. President Trump, leaving the G7 summit early on June 16, called for urgent meetings with his security team in the White House Situation Room and warned civilians to evacuate Tehran amid Israeli bombings in the region.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a bulletin Sunday warning of possible retaliation in the form of cyberattacks and extremist violence, including antisemitic hate crimes, following the strikes. While DHS clarified there were “no specific credible threats,” it cautioned that lower-level cyberattacks targeting U.S. networks were likely. The agency also emphasized Iran’s long-standing commitment to targeting U.S. officials it holds responsible for the 2020 assassination of an Iranian military commander.

“The ongoing Iran conflict is creating a heightened threat environment in the United States,” the DHS bulletin noted. “The likelihood of violent extremists independently mobilizing to violence in response to the conflict would likely increase if Iranian leadership issued a religious ruling calling for such acts.”

Rising Tensions Amid Global Conflict

The warning comes as the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to escalate, with bombings in Tehran further destabilizing the region. President Trump’s call for evacuations in Iran underscores the gravity of the situation. Experts warn that the unfolding events could have ripple effects on U.S. domestic security, particularly in major urban centers like Los Angeles and New York.

Iran’s recent threats have sparked heightened concern among local officials and community leaders. “The potential for sleeper cells or retaliatory violence is a serious issue,” said cybersecurity expert Maya Lopez. “While most threats won’t materialize, the uncertainty is enough to create widespread unease.”
