A former FBI official is warning of potential Iranian-linked attacks inside the United States following US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
Chris Swecker, a former assistant FBI director, said Iran-linked groups such as Hezbollah could escalate efforts to carry out attacks against the US after Operation Epic Fury, including attacks on American soil. In comments to the Daily Mail, Swecker said, “We’ve got a cornered animal here, and if ever we’re going to see attacks on the United States, this would be the catalyst for that.”
“It’s a tinder box right now,” he added. “You’ve got the leadership of Iran in a state of desperation.”
