Iran reportedly sent a threat to Donald Trump just days before he ‘obliterated’ three of their nuclear sites, warning it would unleash sleeper cell terrorists inside the US if the country was attacked.
Trump received a communiqué from Iran just days before the US military strikes on its nuclear facilities threatening to activate sleeper-cell terror inside the United States if it were attacked, sources told NBC News.
The official message was delivered to Trump through an intermediary at the G7 summit in Canada last week.
The president left early June 16 to consider his options amid the conflict between Israel and Iran, according to the sources.
Following his departure from the G7 summit, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One he planned to hold ‘early’ meetings with his security team in the White House Situation Room after issuing a stunning call for people to ‘evacuate’ Tehran amid Israeli bomb attacks there.
After the US deployed B-2 bombers to drop more than a dozen ‘bunker busters,’ Iran’s foreign minister called the strikes ‘outrageous’ and said that Tehran ‘reserves all options’ to retaliate.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a national terrorism bulletin Sunday warning of possible cyber attacks and violence, including antisemitic hate crimes, following the strikes.
‘The ongoing Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States,’ the bulletin said.

Although there are ‘no specific credible threats,’ the department warned that low-level cyber attacks against US networks are likely.
‘Iran also has a long-standing commitment to target US Government officials it views as responsible for the death of an Iranian military commander killed in January 2020,’ DHS said.
‘The likelihood of violent extremists in the Homeland independently mobilizing to violence in response to the conflict would likely increase if Iranian leadership issued a religious ruling calling for retaliatory violence against targets in the Homeland.’
