US Heightens Security Nationwide After Iran Strikes

CNN reports that after the US strikes on Iran, American law enforcement officials have heightened security measures and are closely monitoring for potential threats within the country. Surveillance has been intensified in the Middle East, carefully analyzing intelligence on possible threats to the country.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem noted on social media that the department is working to strengthen the security of the country. The police departments of New York and the District of Columbia (Washington) have reported sharing intelligence with federal partners and increasing the presence of law enforcement near religious sites. Authorities are taking measures to protect the population, businesses, and tourists. Enhanced security measures have also been implemented around strategic sites in Washington, particularly the White House, the Pentagon, and the Israeli Embassy.
