FBI Shifts Focus to Counterterrorism Amid Heightened Threats from Iran
Amid escalating tensions related to Iran, the FBI announced a significant reallocation of its resources, shifting agents from immigration enforcement to counterterrorism efforts. This strategic pivot comes in response to concerns over heightened threats, particularly in major U.S. cities, with increased vigilance at religious centers and other potential targets. Authorities are particularly wary of Iranian reprisals following recent U.S. military actions, with former officials warning of possible sleeper cells and plots within the country. Multiple reports suggest that this shift is crucial as the FBI prioritizes national security against the backdrop of a changing geopolitical landscape.
