The U.S. is on heightened alert after Iran vowed 'harsh retaliation' for an American airstrike in Iraq and that killed a top Iranian general - as it is feared that sleeper cells may be ready to attack in major cities.
**SNIP**
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio said they would be protecting key locations from 'any attempt by Iran or its terrorist allies to retaliate against the U.S.'
'We have to assume this action puts us in a de facto state of war,' he told a press conference on Friday.
It comes amid fears that the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group, which has been designated by the U.S. government as a foreign terrorist organization, may have sleeper cells in the U.S. that are ready to retaliate.
Former CIA operations officer, Sam Faddis, warned that Hezbollah sleeper cells were hiding in the U.S. and potentially had targets in its sights.
'It is more than possible that Hezbollah has sleeper cells in the United States ready to strike,' Faddis told DailyMail.com.
'Based on what we know we must assume they do and that they can hit targets on U.S. soil at anytime without warning.'

Hey de Blasestupido... who attacked our embassy (an act of war by the way)?
We carry guns out west. Don’t know what the NYC’rs are going to do.
If there aren’t sleeper cells at work in our Nation, it isn’t for lack of welcome by the open borders crowd. In fact, we KNOW there ARE sleeper cells here, and they’re working feverishly. They’re called democRATS.
Didn’t de Blasio declare war on NYC citizens long ago?
Most likely they came through the Southern Border that the RATS did not want to close!
Does he mean that, up until now, he had not been in a heightened state of security? As in relaxed a bit? That’s shameful!
“’It is more than possible that Hezbollah has sleeper cells in the United States ready to strike,’ Faddis told DailyMail.com.
‘Based on what we know we must assume they do and that they can hit targets on U.S. soil at anytime without warning.’”
So they agree that Trump was mitigating a future attack by taking out their leader.
Ain't no could to it, these ragheads are already here and our government has allowed most of them in KNOWINGLY.
Prep up and be ready for anything. Did my prep inventory the day of the kill and am stocked back up.
[That terrorist cells have not been blowing things up in this country since 9/11 still amazes me.
They’re either that incompetent or we’ve been that good at stopping them.]
And some probably joined as a means of emigrating and never intended to accomplish the mission with which they were tasked. You might say this is devious and unethical. Then again, probably less so than carrying out the terrorist attacks against random individuals.
Several ways
VISAs that our government issues and then vanish
Up from our Southern border embedding themselves with the wets
In recent years, down from Canada. This border is just as open as our southern one is.
This has been going on for decades. PDJT has done everything in his power to stop the invasion.
What’s that got to do with anything?
They’re here.
I never saw so much looking back as I sometimes see on this site and also a desire of so many here that citizens of the US get murdered because they come from a liberal town.
There’s almost glee if it happens.
Just wow.
Throw empty condom wrappers I would suspect because they are SCREWED.
What a drama queen this guy is.
F De Blasio. Always a fear monger.
Say, a few million?
Sure.
And 9/11 was a respnse to US aggression, right?
And the Boston bombing?
Muslims don’t need a reason to carry out terror attacks. It’s what they do.
I agree completely-President Trump does have views on this more in line with our founders.
If we allow Iranians and other terrorists to get away with murder and destruction because we are too afraid to fight back because they might do more violence against us-then we might as well roll over now and surrender. That is what the Left wants.
I will not be beholden to that cowardly mindset.
I don’t want us to be at war, but I would rather accept the risk and even actual terrorist attacks on our country or interests than to cower in fear and let them do as they wish.
Like many here, I was an adult at the time of the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis, and had just finished a tour in the USN only months before. I was outraged at what Iran had done, and even though Operation Eagle Claw was a disaster, I gave that incomparable incompetent Carter at least a smidgen of respect for having the gumption to try it.
Operation Eagle Claw may have been ill-conceived, or too far beyond our operational capabilities at the time, but at least we tried.
But Carter at least had the guts to try. Ann Coulter once said something to the effect of (I have to paraphrase) “Neville Chamberlain didn’t have his own craven behavior to hold up as an example to himself of the folly of appeasement. Modern Democrats have no such excuse.”
Some similar sentiment could be voiced in support of Trump in that he does have the behavior of the Iranians and embassies as an example to hold up, and he apparently did just that, as a functioning President should.
I have two outstanding international grudges, neither of which has been repaid in full by our government. One is the North Korean seizing of the USS Pueblo coupled with the shootdown of the EC-121 in 1969 that killed 31 of our men. The other is the 1979 takeover of our embassy in Iran.
Both of those should have been dealt with harshly, and neither was. As far as I am concerned, they both still have something coming to them. I don’t want us to be at war, honestly. But I would rather fight back and accept the risk of further attacks.
Mohameds going mohomicidal, committing mass mohomocide? Whoda thunk it? Is there any precedent at all for this?
Open borders to get them into the country, and sanctuary cities to position them where they can do the most damage.
Your policies are working perfectly, sir.
