Didn’t someone in CIA claim they had all the data that could uncover the attack plan, just didn’t have enough analysts for that to have happened?

If that is true then increasing surveillance would not change a thing, at the end data collected will just sit there untouched, or waiting to be abused.

Still waiting on Saudi Arabia invasion (not that I believe that would be the proper answer either, but still).

Saudi Arabia is an ally, an a bussiness partner

You misspelled Iran.

Trump gave it a shot by assassinating Soleimani, the Iranians just didn't retaliate enough to provide justification.
