The US is worried about Iran's biological weapons capability. Iran likely has the ability to produce lethal biological weapons agents. The US government has assessed that Iran aims to continue research and development of chemical and biological agents for offensive purposes. The conflict in Iran has made it harder to secure dangerous materials, and the US may not know what biological materials are present at targeted sites or what risks the surrounding areas face. Biological agents are a particular challenge because they can be small, portable, and capable of spreading on their own. The consequences of a biological release could be severe, and the US needs to improve its biosurveillance infrastructure to detect and respond to biological threats.
