Iran Warns President Trump They Will Activate Sleeper Cells Inside The United States

A chilling new report from NBC News has revealed that Iran issued a direct warning to President Trump: if he moved forward with attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the regime would respond by activating sleeper cells inside the United States.

The warning reportedly reached Trump through an intermediary during the recent G7 summit in Canada, just days before U.S. fighter jets launched strikes on Iranian nuclear targets.

Sources familiar with the situation—including two U.S. officials and an individual with direct knowledge of the intelligence—told NBC that Iran made it clear: striking their nuclear program would trigger a response not just abroad, but here at home, via covert operatives already embedded in the U.S.

Neither the White House nor Iran’s delegation to the United Nations has issued a public comment on the report.

The Times of Israel confirmed and expanded on the story, noting that U.S. officials and allies are deeply concerned about Iran’s ability to carry out attacks not only on American soil, but also in Europe and beyond the Middle East.

NBC reports that Trump left the G7 early—on June 16—citing urgent developments in the escalating Iran-Israel conflict. Just a few days later, U.S. aircraft struck several Iranian nuclear sites.

U.S. military and intelligence agencies had already been on high alert for months due to rising tensions in the region. But sources say the possibility of retaliation on American soil—particularly from hidden operatives or “sleeper cells”—has now become a top concern.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also issued a warning to the West, speaking of “everlasting consequences” in the wake of recent hostilities.

Vice President J.D. Vance, appearing on Meet the Press, confirmed that the Biden administration is now taking the homeland threat “very seriously” and that evaluations of potential domestic terror plots are underway.

CNN also highlighted the report, with their lower-third ticker reading: “Iran sleeper cells warning.”

As of now, the true scope of the threat remains unclear, but the implication is stark: if true, this marks one of the most direct threats ever made by a hostile foreign power to carry out coordinated terror attacks inside the continental United States in response to foreign policy decisions.

More updates are expected in the coming days.
