Iran Conflict Raises Global Terrorism Threat Level

Iran Conflict Raises Global Terrorism Threat Level

Author: FOX News Radio May 2, 2026 Duration: 20:44
It has been 15-years since the night al-Qaeda mastermind and chief, Osama bin Laden, was killed in a daring SEAL Team 6 raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan. While it was a great victory against terrorism and Islamic radicalism, the threat of terrorism remains high after years of porous borders and the development of new weaponry. And now, with a direct military conflict with Iran, one of the world's largest sponsors of terror groups, how vulnerable is the United States to a terror attack? FOX’s Tonya J. Powers speaks with Dr. James Robbins, Dean of the Institute of World Politics, who says Tehran would love to take revenge on the United States in some form of terror attack, and he also recounts the search for Osama bin Laden.
