Iran 'sleeper cells' in US: What Trump said when asked how many there could be

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States was aware of Iranian sleeper cells inside the country, as American and Israeli forces continued their military operation against Iran. The operation, which has entered its second week, killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and has since led to retaliatory actions by Iran on US assets and allies.

Asked by a Fox News reporter if he had been briefed about how many Iranian sleeper cells could be inside the US, Trump replied, "I have been, and a lot of people came in through Biden with his stupid open border, but we know where most of them are. We've got our eye on all of them, I think."
