Homeland Security Warns of Domestic Threats
Following recent US strikes linked to the Israel-Iran conflict, Homeland Security issued a new warning. Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement, “It is our duty to keep the nation safe and informed, especially during times of conflict.” She warned that the ongoing Israel-Iran tensions could lead to “cyberattacks, violence, and antisemitic hate crimes.”
The Department of Homeland Security also noted in its bulletin that “low-level cyberattacks on US targets are likely.” Officials added that extremists within the US might be inspired to commit violence if Iranian leaders call for retaliation.
Authorities are urging the public to stay alert and report any suspicious activity.
