Several U.S. officials, including Congressman Mark Green and General Kurilla, have highlighted the ongoing threat posed by Iranian-backed terrorist groups to U.S. homeland security and allies. Concerns were raised about Iran's increasing aggression and the need for a robust strategy to counter these threats, with a focus on aviation security risks and heightened terrorism threat environment.
