The United States is officially involved in the conflict between Iran and Israel. As a result, many are wondering what the term «sleeper cells» means, as Donald Trump and his administration, according to reports, are monitoring the nation because of them. Below, find out what this term means and more about the situation in the Middle East.
The Trump administration carried out a targeted attack on three nuclear facilities in Iran. Shortly after news of the bombing on June 21, 2025 became known, Trump addressed the country in a televised speech. He confirmed that the American military conducted airstrikes on the nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
«Everyone has heard these names for many years as they built this terribly destructive project», - the American president said. «Our goal was to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities and stop the nuclear threat emanating from the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a magnificent military success. Iran’s key nuclear facilities have been completely and finally destroyed».
Referring to Iran as the «hooligan of the Middle East», - Trump called for peace in the region and threatened what the US could do if peace is not achieved.
«If they do not do this, future attacks will be much more powerful and easier», - Trump added. «For years, Iran has said 'Death to America, death to Israel.' They killed our people, blew up their hands, legs with bombs on the roads. This was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands across the Middle East and around the world died as a direct result of their hatred».
Trump concluded that if peace «does not come quickly», - it will be «a tragedy for Iran, much greater than we have seen in the last eight days».
«Remember, there are still many targets», - he said about Iran’s nuclear facilities. «Today's was the most difficult of all, and possibly the deadliest. But if peace does not come quickly, we will attack these other targets with precision, speed, and skill. Most of them can be destroyed in a matter of minutes».
Sleeper cells are spies or terrorists who usually lead a quiet, unassuming life in the Western world before embarking on a mission.
Since sleeper cells lead quiet lives and operate undercover, it is unknown if any sleeper cells have been identified in the United States
