Biden orders strike on Iranian-aligned group after 3 US troops injured in drone attack in Iraq

When asked about the current terror threat level in the US. FBI Director Christopher Wray says he seen blinking red lights everywhere. Senator Lindsey Graham asked Ray in *** senate hearing today on Capitol Hill, whether terror threats today are at *** level not seen since 911. So blinking red lights analogy, about 911, all the lights were blinking red before 911. Apparently, obviously all of us missed it. Would you say that there's multiple blinking red lights out there? I see blinking lights everywhere I turn. Ok. All right. Can't say any better than that Ray's remarks today are reinforcing the notion that the Israel Hamas war has exacerbated the threat to the homeland. The uh urging *** foreign terrorist organization to attack America has gone up. Is that fair to say yes, the threat level has gone to *** whole another level since October 7th. I've never seen *** time where all the threats or so many of the threats are all elevated all at exactly the same time. And at the center of the threat to America, Ray says, is Iran describing the country as the world's biggest state sponsor of terrorism? When asked what the US should do differently to deter terror threats. Ray says deterrence requires for there to be consequences.
