Experts Warn That Iranian Sleeper Cells in the US Pose a “Very Serious” Threat

Jason Brodsky, policy director for United Against Nuclear Iran, told JNS that the Iranian regime “has tried for many years to establish capabilities and networks in the United States that can carry out these types of operations when the Iranian leadership decides to do so.” “I think that, fortunately, U.S. law enforcement has been quite effective in thwarting these plots in coordination with our allies and partners around the world, but this is a threat,” he said. “There is a capability that the Iranian regime possesses. It maintains relationships with transnational criminal syndicates, and those syndicates have the ability to conduct operations within the United States,” Brodsky told JNS. “It needs to be taken seriously.”
