Excerpt:FBI Director Kash Patel has reportedly been ramping up efforts to identify and monitor any Iran-backed cells linked to the terrorist group Hezbollah.
Donald Trump’s administration is boosting efforts to monitor potential Iran-backed cells in the United States linked to the terrorist group Hezbollah as the president is weighing options when it comes to striking the terror regime’s nuclear facilities, according to CBS News.
The outlet said, citing sources familiar with the matter, that FBI Director Kash Patel has been ramping up efforts to identify and monitor any Iran-backed cells linked to the terrorist group Hezbollah. The efforts have been pursued since Israel’s attack on Iran earlier this month in Operation Rising Lion.
Iran has previously threatened to come after US officials who were involved with the assassination of Iranian military head Qasem Soleimani. The terror leader was killed in January 2020 on an order given by Trump. Last year, there was an Iranian operative with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and two people in the US who were charged with plotting to assassinate those who are critical of Iran. The assassination plot included Trump.
As the conflict between Iran and Israel has continued, Trump is considering whether or not to strike Iran’s uranium enrichment facility at Fordow, which is deep underground, an action that would directly involve the US joining with Israel against Iran in the conflict.
