sleeper cells with targets like

communications
water supply
power supply
food distribution channels
political targets
hi profile targets

and maybe a few " national identity " targets like the Statue of Liberty
Back when we invaded Iraq in 2003 there was a leaked saying from within the Bush administration that "Anyone can go to Baghdad. Real men go to Tehran." What kept the administration from going balls deep into Iran back then was the understanding that Iran has thousands of 'sleeper cells' located throughout the world.

Not all of the cells are suicide bombers. They are folks that live in nations all over the world helping with money laundering, operational command, target analysis and acquisition, etc.

Thousands. Many thousands most likely.

2007, open estimation of at least 800 Iranian sleeper agents in the USA:

(read this and understand who Asghari is)
Interrogating General Ali Reza Asghari

(then read this)
U.S. looks at potential danger from Hezbollah

The consensus view among intelligence analysts, in and out of government, is Hezbollah maintains an extensive network inside the U.S. and Western Europe.

The sleepers in the U.S. may number as many as 800.

Elsewhere in the world

Middle East:
Al Arabiya | Iran’s Salafi Sleeper Cells

News reports about Iranian plots to target the Arab Gulf States through local Shiite cells, which have been planted and programmed to carry out terrorist activities and create chaos, in the event of an attack on Iran, may not be far from the truth. However, it is incorrect to suggest that the Shiites alone would be Iran’s agents in a time of crisis. This belief is completely naïve, for Iran today is the largest employer of Sunni movements, specifically the Salafist groups, who are considered the most radical Sunni group, and certainly different from the Shiites. The attack which struck the Japanese oil tanker near the Straits of Hormuz a month ago was not a Shiite operation, but that of a Sunni-Salafi Saudi national based in Iran! There are hundreds more like him, of Arab nationality, hiding and being trained inside Iran. There are also hundreds of others receiving support from Iran for their activities in other areas such as Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Lebanon, Gaza and so on.
Iranian “Sleeper Cells” in the GCC States

Al-Qabas reported on Saturday that Bahrain’s intelligence service warned other Gulf states that large numbers of “armed terrorists” were preparing for acts of sabotage if Iran was attacked over its nuclear file. The warning was based on confessions of members of a “terror cell” arrested a few days ago who reportedly claimed membership in the military agency of a neighbouring country, Al-Qabas said citing informed sources.

Elaph: Iranian Suicide Bomber Cells in Europe, Gulf

The liberal website Elaph.com reported May 1 that Iran has recently sent commanders to Europe and the Persian Gulf to command sleeper cells of suicide bombers that are to act if Iran is attacked.

According to an unofficial Iranian source, the commanders of the suicide bombers are: Hizbullah-Iran Commander Mohammad Reza Yazdan Bana, known as Hossein Karam Allah, who was appointed Iranian military attaché in the Balkans, and who is based in Zagreb; and Col. Sa'id Qasmi, originator of the idea of and the founder of the sleeper suicide cells in Europe.

IRAN – LEADING STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR

In Germany, EU officials are aware of 800 Iranian-backed Shiite Hezbollah terrorists that reside in the country and sleeper cells in 20 European Union nations. Hezbollah cells are utilizing key European capitals as intelligence gathering centers. Europe has also acted as a popular location for Hezbollah operatives to conduct fundraising activities, estimated to accrue more than $198 million a year.

You can draw your own conclusions on how reliable this info is, but personally I believe it. This stuff has been floating around for a decade now.

In my opinion, the real threat is something I wrote an essay on about 4 years ago or so and linked a bunch of parts of it in a GIM post before it went kablooey.

In a nutshell, when the USSR fell a number of biological warfare scientists fled to safety in Iran. Iran's biological and genetics specializing universities, believe it or not, are some of the best in the world. Not the best, but for a nation we mock they are excellent at what they do. This is why the ex-Soviet military scientists went there.

Iran is a MAD capable power through its biological warfare program.

I do not doubt there is at least ONE 'sleeper cell' holding agents that could spread some incredibly nasty bug within a Western power, such as the US, UK or France.

This is my reasoning for should the Iran war get started, and you have the means to bug out, it is a clear warning sign that it is time.

We will all be on borrowed time after that.

TS will HTF.
