Iran and Proxies Have Carried Out or Threatened 14 Attacks Since War’s Start: Bulletin

“One hundred days into the war, Iran is doing what U.S. intelligence officials feared it would. Since the February start of the war with Iran, the country and its proxies have "inspired lone wolf actors in several instances that resulted in attacks against critical infrastructure and US citizens," according to a state homeland security intelligence bulletin reviewed by ABC News. The bulletin, citing information from the Department of Homeland Security, cited 14 threats and actual attacks undertaken by Iranian proxy groups, cyber actors and lone wolves since Feb. 28, 2026, including a deadly shooting in Austin, Texas; a cyberattack against a medical technology company that wiped out more than 200,000 systems, servers, and mobile devices and extracted 50 terabytes of critical data; the vehicle ramming attack at Temple Israel in Michigan and the attack on the White House correspondents' dinner. ‘Iranian-aligned hacktivist groups including Handala Hack, Cyber and 313 Team and various others have targeted U.S. companies and critical infrastructure networks in retaliation for the war. Iran has vowed to seek revenge on the United States in the aftermath of the war,’ the bulletin said.”

What We Know About the U.S. Consulate Shooting Probe

“The investigation that led to a Toronto police officer being killed on duty may have ties to the U.S. Consulate shooting in March, according to reports. American authorities arrested Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, in May, and charged him with six terrorist related offences for his alleged role in plotting nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks in Europe, the U.S. and Canada. In wiretaps, he took credit for masterminding the U.S. Consulate shooting in Toronto and another synagogue attack in Canada, although its location is unknown. Al-Saadi was a commander with Kata’ib Hizballah, a Shia militant group in Syria and Iran, and an operative for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard, according to investigators. ‘In Europe, we have our guys; even in America, for example the other day, and in Canada, we have our guys,’ Al-Saadi was quoted as saying to a confidential source.”
