FBI, DHS host call with governors over US threat environment after Iran strikes

Source: ABC News

June 22, 2025, 10:28 PM


Senior FBI and Homeland Security officials hosted conference calls with some of the nation's governors and top law enforcement officials on Sunday to discuss how the U.S. missile strikes in Iran impact an already dangerous threat environment, sources told ABC News. The calls included one with hundreds of state and local law enforcement officials from around the country and another with state governors and their staff.

An FBI official said on the call that the agency's "posture is going to be enhanced" after the U.S. military action against Iran. The FBI is asking more personnel to be in the office, and continuing to "canvas sources" and monitor intelligence. Sources said there is currently no specific intelligence of a direct, credible threat against the U.S. homeland.

The call with governors was meant to ensure that states are aware of the current threat environment and to encourage them to reach out to relevant state agencies, infrastructure partners and others who may be at risk, sources said. Federal officials specifically urged governors and their staff on the call to be vigilant for an uptick in cyber activity within their states and encouraged them to reach out to relevant state agencies, private sector infrastructure partners, and others who may be at risk, including Jewish institutions or groups associated with Israel.

The call with law enforcement also included a representative from the Secure Community Network (SCN), a Chicago-based organization that helps protect Jewish institutions across the country and shares intelligence with the FBI and DHS.

FBI, DOJ and the rest of shithole's cabal are inadequate. Do I fear that their incompetence will cause pain in the USA's ability to fight off terrorism, yes, because they are the terrorists.

“All state governors were invited to the call, but not all were able to make it for various reasons, so for some only their staff members attended, sources said.”

a faction of MAGats hate the Patriot Act because of a CT that they are being targeted by the FISA courts and judges. I wouldn't be surprised if they attempt to amend it so that they can actually weaponize it for their own purposes.

got together with a bunch more of them and acted as if they had a fucking clue about what they may have unleashed.

We're supposed to take this information as if it's offered in good faith and not just pulled out of someone's ass?

no. no. no.

It more likely going to be Americans in Iraq and other middle eastern countries who will be attacked.
