Recent reports indicate a significant surge in attacks against the U.S. by Iran-linked actors, with a staggering 630% increase in malign acts since the Hamas terror attack in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. These attacks, which include projectile strikes, maritime aggression, cyber intrusions, kidnappings, and terrorist acts, have been on the rise since the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018.
Following the attack on Israel in October 2023 and subsequent conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah, Iran-backed groups have intensified their assaults not only on Israel but also on U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria, as well as targeting U.S. naval vessels in Yemen.
