After revealing that the FBI’s biggest worry is violent extremists drawing inspiration from the Hamas terror attacks in Israel to carry out attacks on U.S. soil, the federal law enforcement agency’s top official revealed that Iran tried to hire hit men to assassinate U.S. government officials.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified in Congress this week, telling lawmakers that since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza earlier this month, multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against Americans and the West.
