00:00.
00:22Early Tuesday morning, gunfire shattered the calm streets of downtown Toronto.
00:28The target? The United States Consulate General, right in the heart of the city.
00:34No injuries were reported, but the message is clear. Western and Jewish institutions may now be at risk.
00:41Authorities are investigating whether this incident is linked to the ongoing war between the US, Israel and Iran.
00:51Toronto Police responded at 360 University Avenue near Queen Street West around 5.30 a.m.
00:58Officers found bullet holes in the consulate's glass doors and shell casings on the ground.
01:03No suspects have been identified, and streets around the area remain closed as investigators process the scene.
01:11This isn't an isolated event. Over the past week, three synagogues in Toronto were also targeted with gunfire.
01:19Windows and doors were riddled with bullet holes, though thankfully no one was hurt.
01:24Internationally, similar incidents are being reported. Just two days ago, the US Embassy in Oslo, Norway was damaged in an
01:31explosion.
01:32US intelligence agencies are on high alert. Encrypted communications allegedly from Iran may be activating pre-positioned sleeper cells or
01:42covert operatives abroad.
01:43While no specific attacks have been confirmed, authorities warn of potential lone wolf or coordinated retaliation linked to the Iran
01:51conflict.
01:55The timing of these attacks coincides with the escalating Middle East war.
01:59On February 28, 2026, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a joint US-Israeli strike, sparking waves
02:10of retaliation across the region.
02:13Analysts note that symbolic, low-casualty attacks on diplomatic facilities may reflect proxy or asymmetric operations designed to send a
02:22message.
02:24Security has been heightened at US consulates and embassies worldwide.
02:28Canadian, US and allied counter-terrorism teams are coordinating closely to protect vulnerable communities and diplomatic assets.
02:37While investigations continue in Toronto and Oslo, one question looms.
02:42Are Iran's sleeper cells already active in the West?
