On Saturday morning (2/28/26) in Iran, a joint Israel-US military action began another chapter in Middle East conflict, but this one potentially aiming for regime change and dramatically altering the political map of the Middle East and the global order.  Iran has retaliated with ballistic missile and drone strikes against Israel and its Persian Gulf neighbors, and this appears much larger than military operations last June. The US has an enormous naval and air armada in position and is clearly employing these assets to great effect. US military bases in the region have been targeted, and President Trump has warned the nation to expect casualties.  

Hal Kempfer, retired Marine Intelligence Officer and renowned national security analyst relied upon by numerous major television news networks (to include NewsNation, LiveNow from Fox, CNN, local affiliates, etc.) is providing IGLA a special in-depth report and presentation with the latest details that includes not just the what is happening but just as importantly the why and what it all means. Then he will answer your questions to fill in the gaps and illuminate those aspects that are most important to you. Obviously, what is happening with Iran poses new or enhanced threats both directly and indirectly to vital supply chains, critical infrastructure, and US citizens overseas and here at home, along with global price shocks, so whether for personal interest or part of your professional strategic risk assessment process, this is a must-see InfraGard event.

Iranian proxy networks, particularly those tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its Quds Force, pose a growing and multifaceted threat to U.S. critical infrastructure. These proxies—often including Hezbollah operatives, cyber actors, and covert operatives—can exploit both kinetic and non-kinetic methods to conduct surveillance, influence operations, cyberattacks, or even sabotage. Their activities are often covert, leveraging diaspora networks, dual-use technologies, and asymmetric tactics to remain below traditional threat detection thresholds. As geopolitical tensions with Iran remain volatile, particularly over nuclear ambitions and regional influence, Iranian proxies may escalate their targeting of U.S. assets, including energy, transportation, communications, and financial sectors, either as retaliation or preemptive strategic leverage.

Key Points:

• Overview of Iranian Proxy Strategy:

Explain Iran’s use of proxy groups (e.g., Hezbollah, Kataib Hezbollah, cyber units) to project power and conduct deniable operations, especially against Western targets.

• Potential activation of any Iranian ‘sleeper cells’ in the US

• Domestic Threat Landscape:

Examine past and recent examples of Iranian proxy activity within the U.S., including surveillance of Jewish and Israeli sites, recruitment efforts, and logistical or financial operations.

• Cyber Capabilities and Threats:

Detail Iran’s history of cyberattacks on U.S. infrastructure (e.g., 2013 DDoS attacks on banks, 2021 targeting of water systems) and the role of cyber proxies in broader hybrid warfare.

• Critical Infrastructure Vulnerabilities:

Identify sectors at high risk (e.g., energy grids, transportation hubs, water systems) and how Iranian proxies might exploit them in a conflict scenario or as a form of strategic coercion.

• Detection, Deterrence, and Response Strategies:

Discuss how public-private sector coordination, intelligence sharing, and resilience planning can mitigate risks posed by covert foreign actors operating through proxy mechanisms.
