Human rights advocates have already noticed Islamophobia and increased anti-Semiticism in the US since the beginning of the US ally Israel's war in Gaza, following an October 2023 attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Today's Bulletin The DHS said the ongoing conflict with Iran was causing an added threat environment.
The low-level cyberSulmets against American networks by pro Iranian hackers are possible”, the bulletin said, adding that cyber-related actors associated with Iran's government could also carry out cyber attacks.
“The possibility of violent extremists mobilizing independently for violence in response to conflict would likely increase if the Iranian leadership were to issue a religious decision calling for revenge violence against targets in the country”, the bulletin said.
US President Donald Trump said yesterday he destroyed Iran's main nuclear areas with massive bombs destroying bunkers by joining Israel's attack on his rival in the Middle East.
Israel-Iran War began with Israel's attacks on Iran on 13 June.
Local US authorities said they remain vigilant, adding there were no credible threats.
In Los Angeles, Washington and New York law enforcement agencies said they added patrols and established additional resources in religious, cultural and diplomatic sites.
” The Israeli-Iran War may contribute to the US-based individuals planning further attacks”, according to the bulletin.
Recent US incidents that have raised alarm for anti-Semiticism and anti-Israel attitudes include fatal shootings in Washington against two Israeli embassy employees and an attack in Colorado that injured eight people when one suspect threw flares into a pro-Israeln crowd.
Incidents that raised concerns about anti-Muslim prejudice include the fatal stab shot by a 6-year-old Palestinian child in Illinois, the attempt to kill a three-year-old Palestinian girl in Texas and a violent mob attack on pro-Pal Palestinian protesters in California.
