Iranian-Backed 'Sleeper Cell' Militants Hibernating In U.S., Positioned For Attack
Washington Free Beacon ^ | April 17, 2018 | By Adam Kredo

Iranian-backed militants are operating across the United States mostly unfettered, raising concerns in Congress and among regional experts that these "sleeper cell" agents are poised to launch a large-scale attack on the American homeland, according to testimony before lawmakers.

Iranian agents tied to the terror group Hezbollah have already been discovered in the United States plotting attacks, giving rise to fears that Tehran could order a strike inside America should tensions between the Trump administration and Islamic Republic reach a boiling point.

Intelligence officials and former White House officials confirmed to Congress on Tuesday that such an attack is not only plausible, but relatively easy for Iran to carry out at a time when the Trump administration is considering abandoning the landmark nuclear deal and reapplying sanctions on Tehran.

To me, it seems likely that Obama’s look the other way policy on security and border control, and the seeding and encouragement of Muslim enclaves all over the country made it easy for these agents to establish themselves here.

True. But, 14mo+ later and there’s not been ANY concerted effort on any push-back, less so on REVERSALS.

Just look @ Magoo vs. ‘sanctuary cities’...bluster & bloviation, not a ONE arrested

Fedzilla. The def. of taking a stance, “may might could should maybe soon”.

Unless... some prosecutor decides to target you for his own career advancement.

This begs the very obvious question: we know they are here and what they are planning, so WHY are they still here???

The sleeper cells started setting up shop under the GWB administration. Heard it all the time on Sean Hannity’s radio program - callers complaining, special interviews testifying of this national suicide...

A major reason many of us jumped up and down screaming for the borders to be sealed and learn
SOMETHING from 9/11. But instead of taking care of the issues at home, we start an invasion of Iraq. We are still there, our borders are still open and once again we face some kind of sleeper cell coordinated attack.

Back in the day I contacted the NYS authorities to rid the state of known terror training camps/sleeper cells. Their response? “We’re watching them”. That’s it.

We can only imagine how much eight years of Obama worsened the situation.

It’s a gloriously stupid notion. The Iranians are practical and professional in their military and intelligence efforts. They have made Iraq a subsidiary and were the primary force in defeating ISIS. Iranian-sponsored terror attacks in the US would be nothing except alienate Russia and Turkey and give Israel and Saudi Arabia a free hand against them ... and that’s to say nothing of the US response.

If they are here, they will hit blue cities where people have less access to guns.

You got it. ‘Rule of Law’ effectively dead and the People too afraid to sneeze for fear SOMEONE uses one of the myriad ‘laws’ to make an example.

I hope that ‘poor’ FBI guy uses the Comey/Cankles defense. Somehow, I think, it’ll just reinforce the ‘2 Americas’

Are you serious ?
Your comment is very odd .

Ever been to USF where the PLO have set up shop or UB
.

The Mussies have set up hundreds of terrorist cells in our Universities .

I find it interesting your trying to down play a known Muslim threat here .

You’se guys should lay off O’DumDum. He was just following Jorge Busho’s globalist, treasonous, big government lead. The Bush’s were the true traitors. We knew what type of rat filth O’DumDum was. Bush campaigned as one of us.
