Iran’s Threats, Trump’s Strikes, and the Looming Terror Risk

According to new reports, last week, Iran sent a chilling message to President Trump at the G7 summit in Canada, threatening to activate sleeper-cell terrorists inside the U.S. if its nuclear facilities were attacked. The threat, delivered through an intermediary, came as Trump grappled with escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. On June 16, Trump left the summit early, signaling urgent security meetings in the White House Situation Room. He even called for Tehran’s evacuation amid Israeli strikes, a move that underscored the gravity of the moment. Following U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—the Department of Homeland Security issued a national terrorism bulletin, warning of potential cyberattacks and violence, including antisemitic hate crimes. While no specific threats were confirmed, the bulletin highlighted a “heightened threat environment” in the U.S.

The strikes, which Trump hailed as a “spectacular military success,” obliterated key components of Iran’s nuclear program, a bold escalation coordinated with Israel. However, the aftermath has sparked new concerns. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed on X that multiple countries are now prepared to supply Iran with nuclear warheads, suggesting the U.S. strikes backfired. Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, argued that Iran’s regime has emerged stronger, with citizens rallying around its leadership. Russia’s Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes as a violation of international law, while jailed Russian nationalist Igor Girkin warned that without support from Russia and China, Iran could face chaos under U.S. and Israeli pressure. Reports also indicate Trump is set to discuss the crisis with Russian President Vladimir Putin, signaling diplomatic efforts to contain the fallout.

Tonight, Trump’s latest Truth Social post hints at regime change in Iran, questioning why a leadership unable to “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN” should remain. This post from Trump marks a dangerous pivot, raising the stakes in an already volatile conflict. My gut tells me he made the post for Iran’s leaders to see. It’s his way of saying, “Attack America, and I kill you.” Regardless of Trump’s message, a real danger lies closer to home. I’ve been warning since my first They Come to America film in 2010 that terror attacks on U.S. soil are inevitable, and Iran’s sleeper-cell threats make this a near certainty.

There is little doubt in my mind, something is going to happen — big or small, I am uncertain. Either way, we cannot blame Trump if and when it happens. He cannot be blamed for confronting Iran’s nuclear ambitions—he’s right to prevent a nuclear-armed Tehran. If an attack happens at home, the blame falls on open-border presidents from Bush to Biden, especially Obama, and complicit Congress members alongside radical border states like California. We must also blame our legal immigration system, allowing more than a million people in each year — many of them from Iran, many poorly vetted. U.S. immigration policies have left us vulnerable to infiltration.

I stand 100% behind Trump’s actions against Iran. Russia and China’s taunts about arming Iran are likely bluffs to toy with Trump’s ego—he must not take the bait, he must stay focused. But we must prepare for retaliation, be it a bombing, shooting, or even a series of cyber attacks. As I predicted in my second film, America’s railways are a glaring vulnerability. Amtrak’s workforce, often less competent than fast-food staff, heightens this risk. As for the possibility of shootings — be they carried out by Iranian shock troops or a lone wolf radical — I know I will always be carrying a gun to protect myself and family. And last, I chose today’s ad because it fits — there has never been a more important time to cyber protect yourself. If nothing else, I suggest you change all of your banking passwords and make them longer and harder to crack. An attack of some kind is likely coming, brace for it — prepare the best you can.
