on the 25th anniversary of the 9\/11 terrorist attacks, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin delivered a speech highlighting recent security efforts. He revealed that he was awakened at 1:30 a.m. due to a credible threat to the United States, which his team successfully prevented from materializing. Mullin emphasized the importance of international cooperation in thwarting threats and declared that more details about the incident would not be shared publicly.<\/p>\n

He warned that another 9\/11-style attack was likely someday, attributing the risk partly to overlooked individuals.
