2 There are lots of Iran and Hezbollah sleeper agents long since in place in the Detroit area, I believe, among others, not to mention IRGC types who came across our southern order during the Biden years and since 9/11. If this is a cue for them to put long-standing plans into action…

3 ...that'll get a Japanese interment really quick. Another march for the AWLF LARPers who don't give a lick for rights and lives of the women of Iran.

assuming there are sleeper cells in the US that are Iran commanded, why haven't they done anything

did their handlers in Iran get wiped out during the 12 day war

did they decide to 'go native'

did they just figure the left in the USA was doing enough damage and didn't want to take the front page for themselves

did the handlers in Iran fight among themselves and lose track of who was supposed to give instructions to the sleepers

10 I don’t know, my dear, but I’m very happy they’ve mostly done nothing. Possibly they were seduced by the freedoms and comforts of the American middle class/educated class, and didn’t want to give that up by getting killed or arrested for actions they were trained to undertake. Ditto for sleeper Soviet spies during the Cold War, according to all the literature.

A few have been caught taking pictures of things they oughtn’t or plotting to do bad things over the years, and there have been reports about watchers reporting about those who fled the regime and settled here — we’ve seen all that here, along with stories about lots of Iranian passports and IRGC uniforms found discarded by illegals from that part of the world once they made it safely across our border.
