# U.S. on High Alert as Terrorism Threats Intensify at Home and Abroad

Federal authorities are warning of a complicated and evolving terrorism picture in the United States, with several developments in the last 48 hours underscoring concerns about both international and domestic threats. CBS News reports that a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin, dated Sunday, warns of a “heightened threat environment” following recent U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The bulletin, not yet publicly posted by the Department of Homeland Security, says there are no specific, credible plots at this time but highlights likely low-level cyberattacks by pro-Iranian hacktivists, and the possibility of more serious cyber operations by actors tied to Tehran. It notes that U.S. law enforcement has disrupted multiple potentially lethal Iranian-backed plots inside the country since 2020, and warns that the ongoing Israel–Iran conflict could inspire violent extremists or hate-crime perpetrators to target religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites. The bulletin also cautions that the risk of individuals mobilizing to violence would likely increase if Iranian leaders issued a religious ruling explicitly calling for attacks on the United States. In New York City, officials say they are acting out of what they call an abundance of caution. The NYPD announced it is deploying additional resources to synagogues, mosques, cultural centers, and diplomatic facilities, while coordinating closely with federal partners. Authorities stress they have not identified a specific plot against the city but are responding to the elevated national advisory and the international backdrop. At the same time, federal investigators are examining possible terrorism links in two recent violent incidents on U.S. soil. According to a CBS News video report, the FBI is probing an attack on a synagogue in Michigan and a deadly shooting targeting military officers in training at a Virginia university. One suspect may have had ties to ISIS, and both cases are being reviewed for potential connections to the war involving Iran. Officials emphasize that, as of now, there is no known operational link between the two attacks, and no confirmed direction from foreign terrorist groups, but they are treating both as possible terrorism matters while evidence is gathered. These latest developments fit into a broader pattern highlighted by congressional and academic assessments in recent months, which point to a persistent blend of foreign-linked plots, antisemitic violence, and homegrown extremism—particularly from far-right actors—as the primary drivers of the terrorism threat in the United States.
