AI Summary

long article 5 min

US government officials have increased security measures across the country due to fears of an attack by Iran or its supporters in retaliation for the US and Israel's bombing of the country on February 28. The Department of Homeland Security has announced heightened alertness and coordination with federal intelligence and law enforcement partners. Major American cities, including Los Angeles, Miami, and New York, have increased patrols around sensitive locations such as places of worship, cultural centers, and schools. Law enforcement agencies are also taking steps to prevent any attack, which could come directly from the Iranian regime or a lone actor. The US has been on high alert since June, when it aided Israel's attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. Increased security measures have been taken nationwide in response to these concerns.
