There are growing fears that cornered Iran may be poised to unleash a wave of terror across the West via so-called sleeper cells.
ABC News, citing intelligence sources, said an urgent message was transmitted following the obliteration of former supreme tyrant Ali Khamenei.
The missive in question reportedly holds a series of instructions for “covert operatives or sleeper assets.”
A U.S. national alert was reportedly sent to law enforcement agencies warning that the coded signal could “be intended to activate or provide instructions to prepositioned sleeper assets operating outside the originating country.”

The alleged terror memo was sent to a multitude of countries from outside the beleagured Islamic Republic. According to the memo, while the exact contents have not been deciphered, “the sudden appearance of a new station with international rebroadcast characteristics” should cause concern.
It added that the signal was “likely of Iranian origin.” In the wake of the alleged call to terror, law enforcement has been urged to increase monitoring of suspicious radio messages.
Experts have issued warnings
While there is no rock-hard proof of an impending attack, counterintelligence experts have warned of potential revenge attacks.
“If ever there’s going to be a Hezbollah cell or a Hamas cell act in the United States in a violent way, it’s now,” Chris Swecker, a former assistant FBI director, told Fox News after the war began.
There have been two reported incidents since the attacks began.
— On March 1, a terrorist with “pro-Iranian regime sentiments” opened fire on a bar in Austin, Texas, killing two and injuring 14 before he was killed by cops. Ndiaga Diagne, 53, was a Senegalese-born U.S. citizen, who wore a sweatshirt proclaiming “Property of Allah.”
— In New York City, two teens from Pennsylvania allegedly hurled an explosive device at an anti-Islamic protest. Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were arrested and charged with using a weapon of mass destruction. They face a slew of terrorism-related charges and are under investigation for suspected links to the Islamic State death cult.

Khamenei successor sore spot
Meanwhile, according to the New York Post, only the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) wanted the newly-minted nepo Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei to take charge.
His father, the obliterated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was not on his son’s team.
“In Khamenei’s will, he explicitly asked Mojtaba not to be named as successor,” said Khosro Isfahani, a research director for the opposition group National Union for Democracy with ties to Iranian intelligence. “Mojtaba is an impotent young cleric who has achieved nothing in terms of political life.”
Basically, despot daddio didn’t think his son could hack the big job and a majority of the country’s succession council agreed. That is until the fanatical IRGC, a government within the government, intervened.
“The Assembly of Experts that was supposed to pick the replacement of Khamenei didn’t vote for Mojtaba,” Isfahani said. “There was a lot of pushback against him, but under pressure from the IRGC, he was named as the successor.”
Mojtaba, 56, is not unlike the nepo babies in Hollywood. He has accomplished little and the successes he has had are due to his pious pops.
And the mad mullahs might be stunned to learn that arch-enemy U.S. President Donald Trump agrees with their harsh assessment. Trump told the Post “Khamenei’s son is a lightweight.”
