According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, there are over 1,000 Iranian sleeper agents inside the United States. She made this statement in testimony to the House Appropriations Committee on Monday in response to questions from Congressman Tony Gonzales (R-TX). ZeroHedge reports:
“Over 1,000 have entered our country, and I can tell you we are on high alert and everyone is looking at that very closely,” Bondi said.
The attorney general suggested the FBI is on guard against possible Iranian sleeper cells located inside the United States, connecting those cells with Iranian nationals who entered the United States across the U.S.–Mexico border during the Biden administration.
“When the DOJ submitted their budget, the United States was a nation at peace, and now we’re a nation at war,” Gonzales said.
“I want us to, as much as we can, get ahead of it to give you the resources, the instruments that you need to go out and make sure that we’re preventing things from happening, not waiting until after the fact.”
Gonzales also suggested that proposals to cut funding to the DOJ, which encompasses the FBI, could undermine national security initiatives, noting a possible threat posed by Iran to the United States following U.S. airstrikes that targeted the country’s nuclear program.
