FBI director Christopher Wray
FBI director Christopher Wray sounded the alarm about the increasing terror threats to the United States during a gripping hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He described the situation as having “blinking lights everywhere,” emphasizing the urgency of the matter.
Senator Lindsey Graham, the committee’s ranking member, drew a parallel to the warning signs before the September 11 attacks, asking Wray if he believed there were multiple imminent threats. Wray’s response was chilling: “I see blinking lights everywhere I turn.”
During the hearing, Wray emphasized that the threats facing America were at an elevated level. He explained, “What sets the current environment apart in my career is that while there may have been isolated instances of higher threats in the past, I have never witnessed a time where so many threats, or such a significant number of threats, have all reached such alarming levels simultaneously.”
Multiple Threats to National Security
Wray’s testimony addressed Senator Graham’s concerns about various threats to U.S. national security, including those posed by Iran, China, and Russia. He also highlighted the increased danger from foreign terrorist organizations following the brutal attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7.
Wray stated, “Since October 7, we have witnessed a veritable rogues’ gallery of foreign terrorist organizations openly calling for attacks against our nation. The threat level has escalated to an unprecedented level since that date.”
Escalating Attacks in the Middle East
In the aftermath of the Hamas massacre, there has been a surge in attacks on American service members in the Middle East. Militant groups in Iraq have claimed responsibility for over 70 assaults on U.S. and international troops since October 17, according to Reuters.
