The FBI Is Stretched Thin. Iran Knows It. [View all]

In physics, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, too, in war.

America’s and Israel’s ongoing attack on Iran has already triggered foreseeable retaliation from the Islamic Republic, primarily in the gulf region. Prudent war planning involves not only a strategy to execute successful attacks, but to also anticipate and defend against the capacity of the adversary to strike back in whatever forms its resources, skill sets and history indicate.

This means the U.S. intelligence and security services, including the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI, along with our military, are on high alert to counter-threats that Iran and its surrogates pose to the homeland.

A salient example of the heightened domestic security posture and threat concerns raised by the war with Iran happened early Sunday morning in Austin, Texas. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force immediately responded to a mass shooting in that city’s entertainment district. Three people died, including the suspect, and 14 were wounded after a man in a large SUV circled the block and ultimately fired at pedestrians using a pistol and a rifle.
