Last December, FBI Director Wray told Congress he’d never in his career seen so many threats against the United States as he did then. There were “blinking lights everywhere,” he said, a reference to a chapter in the 9/11 Commission Report’s titled “The System Was Blinking Red.”
Nine months later, as we mark the 23rd anniversary of the horrific terrorist strike that left 2,977 American dead, the chances of a repeat attack are just as high—if not higher.
This is a direct result of the Biden-Harris administration’s actions and inactions, which have left America less secure at home and at grave risk abroad.
For example, as the president and vice president took office in 2021, Iran-backed actors found they could launch attacks with near impunity. According to U.S. Central Command, from 2021 until March 2023, Iran-backed proxies launched “about 78” attacks on U.S. force in Iraq and Syria, and faced a response only three times.
Since then, attacks by Iranian proxies on U.S. forces have only escalated further, with more than 230 attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq, Syria and Jordan in 2023 alone, more than any year during the Trump administration.
Similar policy results are evident in the Red Sea, where the oil tanker Sounion is currently leaking oil as a result of undeterred Houthi attacks, constituting a grave environmental disaster and raising global energy prices. And it could get worse—the Houthi attack on the Sounion may cause the largest-ever ship-sourced oil spill.
The policies of the Biden-Harris administration have provided unprecedented resources to terrorist organizations and to Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism. Despite the collective counsel of military leaders and his Cabinet, President Biden and Vice President Harris directed the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
