Alarming Terror Threat Analysis

Complimentary Story
March 2026

   Minutes after the February 28, 2026, killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Arabic language message boards and forums across the internet surged in postings. Unsurprisingly, messages posted to these sites are vitriolic to the U.S. and Israel, many threatening to assassinate the leadership of both nations. All messages promised severe retaliation inside America, known to them as the “Great Satan.” Since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury on February 28, 2026, several people asked me the same question: “should we be concerned?”

   I’ll attempt to answer that question here without exaggeration, hyperbole, or conversely, without understating the potential threat to us inside the U.S., using all real-time, evidence-backed information with my in-depth investigative findings. If you’re just looking for a one-word answer, however, my reply is simply “yes.” I’ll explain.

   The activity across the monitored forums increased five-fold after the June 22, 2025, missile strikes against Iran’s nuclear sites and increased again within minutes of the launch of the joint U.S.-Israel operation known as Operation Epic Fury. It is not coincidental that this increase closely matched the activity on sites used by Leftist activists domestically.

   As I wrote in my last column, I first infiltrated and monitored these online sites in the aftermath of the 2001 terror attacks. As other credentialed investigators and research specialists joined my efforts, we became an informational asset for the FBI after being thoroughly vetted and subsequently approved. Although my recent focus shifted to private online message boards used by domestic anarchists, anti-ICE individuals, groups, and their organizers, we’ve collectively maintained a presence inside the most active Islamic forums. As I previously wrote, there’s a deeply concerning convergence of objectives and a very refined sharing of resources among the various anti-ICE groups and groups supporting Islamic jihad inside the U.S. Stated differently, Islamic jihadists are receiving operational support from the political Left inside the U.S. 

   The recent and dramatic rise of anti-Semitism and claims that we are fighting Israel’s wars, even by many well-known Christian conservatives, is the direct result of Islamic propaganda amplified by the ideological Leftists in America. This is also not a coincidence, but a highly coordinated agenda set in motion in 2001 as a vital component of the Communist-Islamic agenda. The Left-leaning social and political climate in America, specifically cultivated and embraced post 9/11, provided an important mechanism to expedite our own subjugation and destruction. 

Surveillance Findings in Real-Time 
   On February 28, 2026, Khamenei’s death was reported on Iran’s state media with the following statement:  

   “To the noble and proud people of Iran: With the ultimate grief and sorrow this is to inform you that following the barbaric attack by the criminal governments of America and the evil Zionist regime, the true example of faith, jihad and resistance, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution Grand Ayatollah Khamenei achieved the blessing of martyrdom.”  

   Images and video of the location where Khamenei and his government associates quickly appeared and spread across the internet forums, with promises of retaliatory strikes against the U.S. in the region as well as domestically. As of March 2, 2026, the threats to possible targets inside the U.S. by proxy agents of Iran and related Muslim groups and individuals became overwhelming in sheer number and graphic detail. Promises to conduct “October 7 style attacks” against Americans inside the U.S. became ubiquitous. 

   We are, and have been, targets in a holy war that’s been simmering for the last century. Today, the “Red Green Axis,” or the alliance between the Communist Left and Islam, is no longer conceptual, but operational. The evidence exists on our streets, in our universities, across social media, and in all levels of local, state, and federal government. America has become a captured operation — captured from within.     

Leftists in U.S. React Quickly
   It should surprise no one that it’s the “usual suspects” who planned protests in major cities across the U.S. What should be of concern, however, is that it was only minutes after the strikes in Iran were confirmed that the same websites and forums being used to coordinate anti-ICE activities became flooded with anti-American messages. Protests were announced in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Boston, Atlanta, Milwaukee, San Diego, and Washington, D.C. The wording used across several forums was nearly identical — each calling for people to “rise up against unprovoked attacks and regime change [by the U.S. and Israel.]” Anti-Semitic and anti-Christian messages became prevalent and more rabid. 

   The operational planning for pro-Iranian actions inside the U.S. were traced back to the usual suspects — the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), whose members include U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and NY Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Other groups include the Marxist ANSWER Coalition, Code Pink, Indivisible, the People’s Forum (funded by CCP allied Neville Roy Singham, the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), and the Black Alliance for Peace. Many of the same organizations and individuals involved in the anti-ICE movement are similarly involved here. 

   Meanwhile, posters on Arabic language forums declared “Holy Jihad” against America. These posts were traced to leaders of the Iranian funded terror group Hezbollah, (literally translated as “Party of God).” They’ve maintained a presence in the U.S. since created by Iran in 1982 as a proxy for their terrorist operations. Notably, before the September 11 terrorist attacks, Hezbollah killed more Americans than any other terrorist organization, with their stated intent to force Islam upon the West.

   They are responsible for the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. service members. In addition to terrorism, they are linked to widespread criminal activities inside the U.S., including money laundering, credit card fraud, counterfeiting, and drug running. 

   Early on February 28, 2026, Hezbollah members and supporters began posting the “Red Flag of Revenge” across nearly every Arabic forum and sub-forum under our surveillance. The posters promised to “deliver death blows to Americans” to be carried out by Iranian operatives prepositioned in the U.S., including members of the notorious “Unit 910.” 
Unit 910 is known as “Hezbollah’s elite, highly compartmentalized, and clandestine branch responsible for overseas terrorist operations. By Monday, March 2, 2026, posts in Arabic, translated to English, stated that the “internal Islamic conquest of America has begun, and that every man, woman and child in the U.S. must convert to Islam or be killed.” Although we’ve seen such posts before, a new and deeply troubling addendum appeared — an activation order was issued by Shia leadership calling “all jihad warriors inside the U.S. to immediately commence operations.” Even more troubling is the specific recognition of ideological and operational allies — from top political leaders in various cities including New York, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles, embedded assets in city police departments, state and federal courts, and elected and appointed federal officials in all branches of government.  

Lastly, consider the following:

• From January 2021 through 2025 (under Biden), nearly 2,000 Iranian nationals were caught illegally entering the U.S. from Mexico. Nearly all were “processed and released,” according to the U.S. Customs & Border Protection. Most are military-aged males. Iranian nationals classified as “got-aways” are estimated to be at least 5,000 for that same period. Additionally, an estimated 850,000 Muslim males sympathetic to Islamic jihad illegally entered the U.S. during that same period.  

• Since 2020, U.S. law enforcement thwarted at least 17 Iranian-backed terror plots on American soil (Source: 2025 DHS Threat Assessment; CTC/West Point).

• The 2025 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community warned of a heightened threat environment from proxies of Iran “already inside the U.S.” 

• DHS National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) bulletin (June 2025-present) warns of potential terror threats inside U.S. following the June 22, 2025, U.S. missile strike against Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities. 

• Inside the U.S., confirmed Hezbollah cells exist in Dearborn, MI, Charlotte, NC, Los Angeles, CA, Cleveland, OH, and several other major U.S. cities, including various locations along the U.S.-Mexican border. 

   The threat to America as a Christian nation, and to Christians living within her borders, has never been greater.
