US Intelligence Warns of Increased Iranian Threats to American Diplomats in Middle East
US intelligence reports indicate that Iran has significantly increased efforts to target American diplomats and officials in the Middle East and beyond, with assassination plots reaching advanced stages. In response, the US State Department has ordered non-emergency personnel and families to leave Saudi Arabia and is reducing staff at embassies in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, and the UAE. Concerns also focus on Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen potentially expanding attacks regionally. President Trump has warned of possible military action if diplomatic efforts fail.
