SMS Alert Text:

DHS/FBI/NCTC issue intel bulletin warning Iran could, directly or thru proxies/partners, carry out attacks in the homeland. Vigilance urged. Summary via email.

Supplemental Info:


While it would be inappropriate to share the full text of intelligence bulletin published earlier today, the following is a synopsis:

1.) The US Intelligence Community has assessed that Iran is capable of carrying out disruptive and destructive cyber attacks against public and private business networks.

2.) In the last three years, numerous individuals have been arrested acting on behalf of either the Government of Iran or Lebanese Hizballah who have conducted surveillance indicative of contingency planning for lethal attacks in the United States against facilities and individuals. The most recent, previously referenced by AlertsUSA, is as follows:

3.) The Government of Iran also has a history of conducting assassinations and assassination attempts against individuals in the United States. In August 2018, the USGOV arrested two individuals for acting as agents of the Government of Iran by conducting covert surveillance of targeted individuals in New York, Washington, DC, and Chicago.


In another example:

On 11 October 2011, Iranian nationals Manssor Arbabsiar and Gholam Shakuri were charged with a plot tied to the Iranian government to assassinate Saudi ambassador Adel al-Jubeir in the United States, as well as bomb the Saudi embassy and the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C.


The FBI, DHS, and National Counterterrorism Center advise federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government counterterrorism, cyber, and law enforcement officials, and private sector partners, to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activities related to terrorism, including but not limited to potential material support to foreign terrorist organizations.
