Abstract

As the Department of Homeland Security’s center of excellence focused on counterterrorism, NCITE’s mission is to work with homeland security partners to provide scientific insights on terrorists and other illicit actors that pose a threat to U.S. homeland security and defense. The intent of this report is to support government, law enforcement, and policymakers tasked with protecting the U.S. from terrorism and related threat actors with information on: 1) the threat actors and characteristics associated with Iran-aligned foreign terrorist organizations; 2) the tactics, technology, and innovation they use to cause harm; and 3) the types of targets they may attack, and the potential threat of violence against the U.S. and our allies, both locally and abroad, by Iran-aligned FTOs.
