# FBI Probes Suspected Iran Link in Austin Mass Shooting as U.S.-Iran Tensions Escalate
Terrorist Threat Tracker - United States
About
In the past 48 hours, the FBI has launched a terror probe into a deadly mass shooting at an Austin, Texas bar, where suspect Ndiaga Diagne was captured on doorbell video leaving an apartment shortly before the rampage, according to Fox News footage obtained by FOX 7 Austin. Investigators are exploring possible links to Tehran amid the escalating U.S.-Iran conflict, as multiple reports including the Times of India highlight a "Tehran link" in the incident that has triggered national security concerns.
This comes as former Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf warned on Fox News that a funding lapse for the Department of Homeland Security is creating vulnerabilities at a time of heightened terror threats tied to the ongoing war with Iran. Wolf emphasized the risks during an interview on March 3, noting how the conflict amplifies domestic dangers from Iranian proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas, which could mount attacks in the United States.
The broader Middle East war, now in its fourth day, has intensified these fears, with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatening to open the "gates of hell" on the U.S. and Israel, per Times of India reports. U.S. President Trump has doubled down on strikes, confirming six American troop deaths from Iranian drone and missile barrages exceeding 700 in 48 hours, while Iranian attacks hit U.S. diplomatic sites in Dubai and Riyadh. John Bolton, in an Al Jazeera interview on March 3, urged Trump to frame the war as essential to eliminate Iran's nuclear program and terrorism sponsorship, warning of potential attacks on U.S. soil if the regime survives.
No other major domestic terror incidents or arrests were announced in the U.S. during this window, though officials remain vigilant.
