A recent House Committee on Homeland Security hearing shed light on the persistent security threats posed by Iran and its terror proxies towards the United States. The hearing, titled 'Examining the Current Status of Iran’s Axis of Resistance and the Implications for Homeland Security and U.S. Interests,' featured discussions on various threats including assassination attempts, attacks on U.S. service members, disruption of trade, and coordination of terror operations.
Chairman Mark Green emphasized the escalating nature of these threats, citing plots targeting former U.S. officials, disruptions in maritime security, and coordination of terror activities in Europe and South America. The committee engaged with intelligence leaders to assess the extent of threats posed by Iran's proxy forces.
