TEHRAN/WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – American authorities remained on high alert Friday after reports that Iran or its proxies tried to transport “operatives, money or materials” into the United States to conduct a terrorist attack.
Worthy News learned that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency is alerting all field offices about Iranian efforts to cross through the southern or northern U.S. borders in a memo.
The memo from the CBP’s Office of Field Operations agency urges staff to take a “heightened posture due to ongoing security threats,” added the well-informed Just the News outlet.
It suggests that a recent coordinated attack from Iran-backed Hezbollah on the Israel-controlled Golan Heights soccer field that killed 12 children raised the threat of similar attacks against the West, including the U.S.
Israel’s assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran was also cited in the alert
“The seniority of the targets, the sensitive locations of the strikes, and their near simultaneity represents an escalation in tension in the region and raises concerns of additional reprisals from Iran and its regional proxies,” the memo explains.
News about the memo comes as the United States has warned Iran of severe consequences if the Islamic Republic attacks Israel.
Some dozen U.S. warships and air carriers are in the area to support Israel, officials say, amid concerns that a broader regional war will break out involving Iran, Israel, and Lebanon.
