The Secret Service is not taking any chances.

Just hours after the U.S. conducted strikes from both the air and the sea on Iran, the Secret Service has enhanced its security around the White House.

The Secret Service presence will also be increased at Mar-a-Lago, where President Trump is currently located.

The Washington Examiner reported more on the Secret Service’s security enhancements:

The Secret Service has enhanced security for its high-profile protectees in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere after President Donald Trump ordered a U.S. strike on Iran in coordination with Israel.

The federal agency responsible for protecting the president said it is “actively monitoring” the ongoing operation in Iran and is cooperating with federal and local partners.

“While we do not discuss our specific protective measures for operational security reasons, the public may notice an increased law enforcement and federal presence around U.S. Secret Service protected sites,” the Secret Service said in a statement on Saturday. “Any temporary traffic or pedestrian impacts will be communicated by our local law enforcement partners.”

“We appreciate the public’s continued cooperation and awareness,” the agency added. “As always, if something appears unusual or concerning, individuals are encouraged to report it to law enforcement.”

The statement means higher security around the White House or wherever the president may be at any given moment. Trump is currently at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, according to his Saturday schedule. He gave the order for “Operation Epic Fury” overnight from his resort.

The FBI has released a security memo, too, per Fox News:

FBI Director Kash Patel said Saturday he has placed the bureau’s counterterrorism and intelligence teams on high alert as U.S. operations against Iran unfold.

“Last night, I instructed our Counterterrorism and intelligence teams to be on high alert and mobilize all assisting security assets needed,” Patel wrote on X.

“Our JTTFs throughout the country are working 24/7, as always, to address and disrupt any potential threats to the homeland.”

Patel added that while the U.S. military is handling force protection overseas, the FBI “remains at the forefront of deterring attacks here at home” and will continue working around the clock to protect Americans.
