DHS & FBI have both issued warnings that Iranian Sleeper Cells are planning attacks. The two Death Fatwas issued by Iran yesterday calling for the assassination of President Trump and critics of Ayatollah Khamenei are the activation signal.

If you plan on attending large gatherings on July 4th make sure to keep your head on a swivel.
June 24th DHS Iranian National Arrests
https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/06/24/ice-arrests-11-iranian-nationals-illegally-us-over-weekend
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 11 Iranian nationals illegally in the United States over the weekend. ICE also arrested a U.S. citizen who threatened to kill ICE law enforcement while harboring an illegal alien from Iran. The weekend arrests reflect the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) commitment to keeping known and suspected terrorists out of American communities.
On June 22, ICE Atlanta arrested Ribvar Karimi in Locust, Alabama. Karimi reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper from 2018 to 2021 and at the time of his arrest, in his possession, he had an Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card. He entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa, which is reserved for aliens engaged to be married to American citizens, in October 2024 under the Biden administration. Karimi never adjusted his status — a legal requirement — and is removable from the United States. He’s currently in ICE custody, where he’ll remain pending removal proceedings.
On June 22, ICE Houston officials arrested Behzad Sepehrian Bahary Nejad, an alien with a final order of removal, who was carrying a loaded 9mm pistol at the time of his arrest. Sepehrian entered the U.S. in Houston on Dec. 9, 2016, on an F-1 student visa. On Aug. 19, 2017, Harris County police arrested him for assaulting a family member by impeding breathing; his wife told the local assistant district attorney that Sepehrian was threatening her and obtained a restraining order against him. She also alleged he was threatening her family in Iran. On July 23, 2018, the University of Texas terminated Sepehrian’s status after he was placed on academic suspension. An immigration judge ordered him removed on Oct. 10, 2019, after he was released on an immigration bond; he filed a motion to reopen his case, which a Department of Justice immigration judge denied. Sepehrian is in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
On June 22, in Tempe — a Phoenix, Arizona suburb — ICE agents arrested Mehrzad Asadi Eidivand, an Iranian citizen with a final order of removal charged with being an alien in possession of a firearm. Eidivand entered the U.S. in San Ysidro, California, in June 2012. In August 2013, an immigration judge granted him a voluntary departure, which allows an alien to leave the country without a formal ICE removal, but he never left. Eidivand will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
At the same residence, officials arrested Linet Vartannivartanians, a United States citizen, for threatening a law enforcement officer. She threatened to open fire on ICE officials if they entered her home, then said she would go outside and “shoot ICE officers in the head.” ICE officials obtained a search warrant for the residence and arrested the pair, who are now charged with federal crimes.
On June 22, in Gluckstadt, Mississippi, ICE officers and agents arrested Yousef Mehridehno, an Iranian national and former lawful permanent resident. The U.S. government terminated Mehridehno’s residency in October 2017 after determining he lied on his original visa application and committed potential marriage fraud. In February, Mehridehno was listed as a known or suspected terrorist, and he’s now in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
On June 22, in St. Paul, Minnesota, ICE arrested Mehran Makari Saheli, a 56-year-old Iranian national. He was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm in Minneapolis, where he was sentenced to 15 months in prison. He is a former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with admitted connections to Hezbollah. An immigration judge ordered him removed June 28, 2022, under the Biden administration, but he illegally remained in the U.S. Saheli is now in ICE custody pending removal.

Meanwhile the most violence is being committed by fringe right wing domestic terrorists. Where’s the sense of urgency to crack down on those weird little guys?

The DHS & FBI warning is about foreign coordinated attacks by Iranian Intelligence OI-IRGC.
Iran issued a Fatwa against President Trump and critics of Ayatollah Khamenei yesterday. And the current ceasefire is extremely fragile at best.
Nobody is saying lone wolf domestic terrorism isn’t also a problem. I’m not sure why you’re getting so defensive.
But isolated domestic incidents do not pose the same risk as trained foreign intelligence operatives attacking critical infrastructure like power plant substations and telecommunication towers.

Reddit is like Marin county. They are all lefties.
Any semblance to rational thought (ie your well reasoned post) will be treated as a threat to their worldview.
Bring on the downvotes and prove me right!
thehourglasses@reddit
If you can explain how being lead on a leash by protofascists is rational, I’ll eat my hat.
MonkezUncle@reddit
Well gee... let's start with... you wear a collar and have a leash. Sit boy sit. Good dog.
And we are investing words now... profacist?!
Bottom line a nation who has its people chanting death to America in the streets is something far more concerning then some nut in Idaho.
thehourglasses@reddit
It’s not a made up term you knuckledragger. We are in the early innings of fascism becoming the political norm in the US. All of these people ushering it in are protofascists, the precursors to full blown fascism.
Maybe don’t weigh in if you don’t understand the fundamentals.
Glass-Half-Full-10@reddit (OP)
This isn’t even a left or right wing issue… the United States is on the brink of war with Iran and their Grand Ayatollah just threatened to assassinate President Trump yesterday.
Could the CIA false flag using that threat as evidence… sure it’s possible.
Could Iran follow through on their Fatwa and launch attacks on US Soil… also definitely possible.
Either way keep your head on a swivel.
KountryKrone@reddit
Downvotes doesn't prove you're right. It means we 'lefties' and many others see your comment as willful ignorance
thehourglasses@reddit
This is silly. There have been more domestic terror incidents than foreign terrorist incidents many times over. And yes, conservatives are slow to acknowledge the threat of domestic terror because — total shocker I know — they’re the fucking domestic terrorists. Anyone with a brain can see this is just more manufacturing consent for a war with Iran while doubling as a primer for a false flag attack. Don’t be so gullible and take these fascists at their word.
Glass-Half-Full-10@reddit (OP)
Bro Iran just threatened to assassinate President Trump and launch attacks on US Soil…
These are their own words… not anyone in the CIA or White House.
You’re filled with hatred clearly. There’s plenty of Left Wing and Trans Mass Shooters as well. All mass shooters are mentally ill people regardless of their ideology.
This is not the same as nation state intelligence assets.

This is a nothing burger just like most of the threats levied against the US. If something does happen, it’s just as likely to be a false flag as a real attack by a foreign adversary. The grifter in chief and his crew of crazies can’t be trusted one iota.

Idaho just made domestic terrorism not terrorism unless a foreign govt is in control.

Domestic Lone Wolfs do not pose a significant threat to critical infrastructure like a trained sleeper cell group does. This is a national security threat not a political issue.
Dazzling-Treacle1092@reddit
If every word of this article is completely true and not this administration trying to whip up more hate and legitimize their ignorant interference in something that they shouldn't have done in the first place, their interference is what put us at higher risk.
This useless strike on Iran was bound to get this kind of response. Any kid in the schoolyard can understand that when you hit someone they're going to hit back.
Girafferage@reddit
Just because somebody is Iranian, does not mean they are part of a sleeper cell or want anything to do with it.
This idea that we should be wary of every middle eastern person has a heavy stench of the camps the US put Japanese Americans into.
whosudady@reddit
Legit Iranians get green cards….not pay CARTELS to cross the border
Glass-Half-Full-10@reddit (OP)
Nobody said that every Iranian living in the United States is a sleeper agent. Those are your words.
We are in a time of war with Iran. The U.S. just bombed Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites last week and the current peace fire is fragile. Iran’s Grand Ayatollah just issued a Fatwa against President Trump yesterday.
Iranian Intelligence has operatives on U.S. soil just like the CIA does in Iran. Do not underestimate their capabilities to cause massive chaos should they decide to attack critical infrastructure sites.

One would think a government sponsored sleeper cell would go out of their way to not be Iranian...

'US border czar tom says Americans should expect a (false flag) attack in response to the unlrovoked US attack on Iran to justify martial law, domestic surveillance, and detaining and deporting American citizens without due process'
whosudady@reddit
So you want Iran to have nukes?
Glass-Half-Full-10@reddit (OP)
Well if you already believe the false flag is coming then prepare one way or the other haha.
malinuhhh47@reddit
I'm really starting to question why I stay on this subreddit, so many updates recently are just spouting U.S. government misinformation. We know that a false flag operation is imminent, no one should trust a single thing coming out of the DHS.
