Iran sent a message to President Donald Trump last week threatening to activate sleeper cells in the U.S. if the U.S. attacked Iran, according to a report by NBC News. After diplomacy was rejected one more time by Iran, Trump ignored the threat and ordered the successful bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities that took place Saturday.
The threat was conveyed to Trump by an intermediary at last week’s G7 meeting at Kananaskis, Alberta in Canada. Trump cut short his stay at the G7 to return to Washington for deliberations on whether to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Iran sent a communiqué to Trump in the days before last night’s strikes on its nuclear facilities threatening to activate sleeper-cell terror inside the United States if it were attacked, sources said.
The message got to Trump through an intermediary at the Group of Seven summit in Canada last week, which Trump left early June 16 to consider his options amid the conflict between Israel and Iran, according to sources who include two U.S. officials and a person with knowledge of the threat.
