In this week’s update, we look at two near-misses that officials have linked to Iran. The first is a disrupted plot to strike RAF Fairford, a US bomber base west of London. We then turn to Flydubai flight FZ1073, Dubai to Tel Aviv, where the Omani co-pilot attacked the captain with the cockpit crash axe and then plunged the jet about 14,000 feet before passengers and a deadheading crew took control and landed in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The through-line: Tehran does not need a missile to reach Western or Israeli targets. An expanded written version of this report can be found in this week’s Threat Journal newsletter.

Homeland Security Weekly Update - Sept 26, 2026
In this week’s update, we examine Russia’s hybrid campaign against NATO, including drones, sabotage, and electronic warfare used to cause damage while making it harder to assign blame and test Article 5. We cover recent incidents in Eastern Europe, and why those tactics matter for U.S. bases, aviation, shipping, and critical infrastructure. We also look at Europe’s push for household preparedness, from Ireland’s nationwide emergency booklets to new guidance in Poland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. We also look into coordinated U.S. Embassy alerts across the Middle East warning that escalation could come with little notice, the latest surge of American military airlift into the region, and the ideological factors that keep this conflict unstable.

Homeland Security Weekly Update - Sept 19, 2026
In this week’s update, we examine the FBI and U.S. Coast Guard boardings of two foreign-flagged energy tankers bound for Texas after their networks showed signs of compromise by foreign hackers. We cover what investigators have and have not confirmed, and why a digital intrusion at sea is now a port-security and energy-security problem. We also review the State Department’s updated Level 3 advisory for Saudi Arabia and the wider risk that online speech lawful in the United States can lead to detention under foreign cyber and speech laws.
