Prepare For The Fallout:

Prepare For The Fallout:It Is Not The End, But Rather Just The Beginning

Be it attacks on our military in that region, cyber attacks against America, Iranian sleeper cells being activated on U.S. soil, financial implications from nations supportive of Iran, or all of the above, Saturday night's bombing by the U.S., of Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities, is not the end, it is the beginning.

While Vice President JD Vance is on record with the claim that "We’re not at war with Iran, we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program," that is almost an obligatory statement that downplays what is about to happen next.

For example, after the strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities, it has been reported that Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, is on his way to Russia to discuss this issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Amid the efforts at a negotiated settlement over Tehran’s nuclear program, the Kremlin has consistently voiced strong opposition to any notion of regime change in Iran. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov recently called such discussions “unacceptable” and warned that the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would “open the Pandora’s box,” leading to extremism within the country

In a press conference this morning at the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, clearly stated that the strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities were not an attempt at a "regime change," showing that the U.S. is trying to thread a very fine needle.

There is no doubt that was a not-so-subtle message to Russia. Whether that provides Russia with enough to urge calm in Iran, is anyone's guess.

I don't have a crystal ball and cannot predict with any certainty what the fallout will be against the U.S. for the bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities in the long term, but there is a good likelihood that the most immediate retaliatory action would be cyber attacks. 

Those could affect water, phone service, internet service and electrical outages, just to name a few critical areas of U.S. infrastructure that could be immediately hit without Iran, Russia, China or anyone else having to do anything militarily.

We have also seen previous warnings by the FBI under the Trump administration, regarding Iranian sleeper cells within the U.S. These warnings are ones we take seriously after four years of the Biden regime allowing tens of millions to cross the border and be released into the interior of the nation.

A report from before the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, explained the risk of cells within the U.S. being activated, and now multiple reports from after the strikes are coming out.

• Officials have raised alarms about suspected terrorists possibly entering the United States through open borders, with some warning of threats reminiscent of past attacks.

This is not a new issue, we have seen these reports before, but they have ramped up over the past week, and with the attack last night, it is something to keep in mind as you go about your days and nights.
