This article below was originally posted last December and now is updated. But the risk of activated U.S.-based Iranian sleeper cells and of lone wolfs has increased since Saturday’s U.S.-Israeli lightening attacks on Iran.
Americans definitely shouldn’t live in fear. We need to carry on our daily lives. But reasonably, our police and national security establishment now are on high alert.
One of the first lone wolf attacks emerged two days ago in Austin, Texas. Here is a summary of a
local news report:
Ndiaga Diagne, a Senegal immigrant, open fired upon people in people in a bar in Austin, Texas, killing two people and wounding 14. He was wearing a sweatshirt that said “Property of Allah,” and another shirt with an Iranian flag design, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
The shooting erupted a day after Israel and the United States
launched an attack on Iranthat killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The FBI said it was investigating the shooting as a potential act of terrorism.
From Australia to New York national security officials now are organizing to find and suppress terror attacks and avert potential tragedies.

According to J. Michael Waller, a highly respected counter terror expert, the tempo of terrorist attacks in the West is only beginning. “I anticipate more attacks. These are low-cost, high-impact military operations against us,” he told me.
Waller is the president of
Georgetown Research, a political risk and private intelligence company in Washington, D.C. as well as a Senior Analyst at the Center for Security Policy.
Waller is only one of many national security officials who now sees the possibility of new terror attacks threatening the Western world and especially Jewish communities outside of Israel.

Since Thanksgiving, alleged and real terrorists have been arrested in Dearborn, Michigan, Montclair, New Jersey, Fort Worth, Texas, Wilmington, Delaware and in the nation’s capital where an Afghan immigrant killed a National Guard soldier and wounded another.
The tension for American Jews has become palpable in the past year. In December, a Jewish New Yorker
was stabbed on the streets of Brooklyn as he left religious services. His attacker seethed as he raised his knife saying, “I’m going to kill a Jew today.”
And in January, a man rammed his car into the Jewish Chabad’s headquarters in Brooklyn while 1,000 students and rabbis were studying.
“These violent Jew-haters aren’t bothering to cloak their prejudice in the garb of political concern for Palestinians,” the
New York Posteditorialized. “They are mainlining pure antisemitism, spitting out bilious, transparent rage.”

Naturally, the West is bracing for Islamic attacks. Pro-Iranian organizations already have organized demonstrations in New York City deploring the U.S.-Israeli attacks. Within days of the attack on Iran, they mass produced printed up signs that read “Hands Off Iran.” These groups are now planning for demonstrations on March 7 across the nation.
Hopefully, we’ll only be faced with the nuisance of radical pro-Iranian protesters and nothing more.
Commentary:
Thanks to Democrats, Barry Obama and Joe Biden open border policies, Iranian terrorists are here in the U.S. Question is how many of the 20 million are terrorists.
I would venture to say that coming Islamic terrorist attacks will soon be coming. We may have seen an examples in WTC attack 1993, WTC 9-11, San Bernardino and Austin, but those were not coming from Iran itself. A real terroristic act would be far more comprehensive, devastating, would be my belief.
If their existing mission is destroyed by Iranian regime change then it would reduce the number of terror attacks as some operators and cells would decide there is no reason to act since they would be serving no existing government or greater purpose.
No longer being part of a different Iran, and without the institutional support of its services, would weaken and demoralize any network here, some would act out of rage and desperation but it would be less effective than if they were being commanded and in service to the prior mother country and its leaders.
However, we must keep in mind that the Muslim Brotherhood still exists.
Just how many did Biden let in? More importantly, what are we doing to stop them?
Well according to Democrats nothing will be done now until Trump and Congress surrender to their petulant demands.
Yeah, nobody believes you.
