FBI does have offices internationally. While they may not always be able to make arrests-themselves, they can if harm has happened to a US citizen in their view. They may also have authority if given by the host country.

NCIS also has offices around the world

You've lost credibility in not knowing the differences between what the FBI does vs. the CIA.
