Iranian attack on US soil likely with ‘thousands’ of vengeful sleeper cells in country: ‘Not a matter of if but when’
NY Post ^ | 3/13/26 | Alex Oliveira

Iran could attack Americans with “thousands” of sleeper cells hiding across the country, along with innovative drone assaults never before seen in the country, a former top US fighter pilot cautioned after intelligence reports suggested strikes on California were possible.

“It’s not a matter of if — it’s a matter of when,” retired Top Gun Navy fighter pilot Matthew “Whizz” Buckley told The Post, warning that Americans were vulnerable to Iranians hungry to retaliate after the US killed the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader and unleashed war across the Middle East.

Chief among the dangers are scores of Iranian agents who “likely” slipped into the US over the southern border and could be waiting for orders from handlers in Tehran to strike, Buckley said.

“There is probably thousands, if not tens of thousands of Iranian agents and sleeper cells in this country,” he said, adding that sources in Customs and Border Protection have ominously told him, “You wouldn’t believe how many Korans and prayer rugs we find in the desert.”

“These people are here,” Buckley said. “So not only do we have potential lone wolf or homegrown terrorists, but we have actual Iranian agents in this country.”

Buckley’s warning comes after the FBI issued a notice to California law enforcement in late February that Iran could be plotting a drone attack on the state in retaliation for the US-Israeli attack on Tehran, which left despotic Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and nearly 50 of his top officials dead.

And while the White House has denied the danger of those drone warnings — press secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted they were based on “unverified intelligence” and that there was no real threat — Buckley said Americans would still be wise to “keep your head on a swivel.”

Why aren't there Somalian sleeper cells?

There probably are, they're just too lazy to wake up.

I recall such things as rendition, waterboard, outside the fence at Gator GITMO with one days ration.

There must be a lot of Iranians who want to die.

Have your guns ready to defend yourselves.

Any sleeper cell might want to check in with Admiral Yamamoto first...

If it is true that those ROTC fellas beat that shooters to death, a few more incidents like that ought to scare the daylights out of the jihadis and their domestic enablers.

Especially if juries start refusing to convict if Leftist prosecutors and judges seek to make examples to cow everyone else.

Eyes on stalks so to speak and head on a gimble (check all compass points). Always armed, and train also for proficiency. This could be over soon in any situation where a loonie thinks they will get the shiite out of this world. Help them do it without any casualty on our side. In the TEN range.

Perfect practice makes near perfect performance in real time.

Because Somalians are steaking too much money from the taxpayers to risk committing going to prison for a terrorist act.

Always be mindful. The Koran tells the good Muslim that surrender and retreat is a good and honorable tactic when done so to reorganize, resupply, recruit more warriors, and realign the battle to which your true intent is to return to.

Lot's of them but the Khat put them to sleep and when they wake up it's just for more khat than they're back asleep again.

Not just wanting to, but looking forward to it.

The Japanese only turned to kamikaze attacks after the war turned decisively against them. Muslims are liable to do it at any time, for any reason.

Ex-fighter pilots are usually invited to intelligence briefings, really.

Mrs. Lucky has informed me that I am to carry my 1911 Colt until the unpleasantness in Iran has concluded.

There are. They recently purchased 60,000 septic tanks and as soon as they can figure out how to operate them, they're going to attack.

Most of the Iranians in this country fled Iran and are pro Trump.

It’s the Biden Iranians that will be the problem.

RE: Not a matter of if but when

Conservatives were already warning about this as early as 2022 when Mayorkas allowed everyone in, including thousands on the terrorist watch list. There could have been EVEN MORE had Kamala won the presidency.
