Episode Details

Recent terror plots in the US, including attacks on a synagogue and a university, have raised concerns about counterterrorism readiness. Experts point to a major shakeup in federal agencies, with the loss of seasoned agents and prosecutors focused on threats like those from Iran. This leaves newer staff playing catch-up, with no smooth handover of vital knowledge and contacts. While no direct links tie the recent attacks to the conflict with Iran, experts warn that rising tensions can fuel lone actors already radicalized online. Lone attackers have long been tough to stop, and staffing gaps could slow responses. Federal spokespeople insist their teams remain committed to public safety, but former leaders argue the experience drain has weakened defenses against foreign-inspired violence at home.
