The national security threats arising from President Biden's perceived weaknesses, coupled with an active and hostile network of Iran-backed terrorist proxies worldwide, have become increasingly evident. Authorities have cautioned border agents to be vigilant for potential terrorists inspired by the recent Hamas attack on Israelis, and FBI Director Chris Wray has acknowledged significant gaps in the agency's knowledge regarding terrorist organizations planning attacks on Americans.
Recent intelligence indicates a growing risk of attacks on Americans by Hezbollah, a major Iran-backed terrorist proxy primarily based in Lebanon, according to anonymous officials cited by Politico. Despite the report referring to Hezbollah as "militants," these officials express concern about the group's potential targeting of U.S. personnel in the Middle East, including both troops and diplomatic staff. The chance of an assault on U.S. soil is also deemed to be increasing amid escalating tensions in the region.

The officials underscored that Hezbollah terrorists possess the capability and an expansive international network to carry out attacks, raising worries about potential threats within the United States. Given the reported lack of border security under the Biden administration and the influx of individuals flagged in U.S. terrorist databases crossing the border, the possibility of a Hezbollah attack in the U.S. cannot be dismissed.
With Biden's perceived reluctance to take decisive action in the face of escalating attacks in the Middle East, particularly by Iran-backed groups like the Houthis, there is concern that Hezbollah may not fear repercussions for targeting U.S. interests. The absence of a robust response from the U.S. and its international coalition has allowed Iran-backed terrorists to escalate their attacks without restraint.
The article suggests that unless Biden adopts a more assertive stance demonstrating the U.S. intolerance for attacks on its targets, terrorists are likely to continue planning and executing attacks. The lack of a decisive strategy is criticized for potentially putting more American troops, and even civilians at home, at risk of harm.
