Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton warned Secretary of State Marco Rubio that alleged Iranian plots against US citizens have reached advanced stages in the Middle East and other countries. The memo did not specify targets or countries, but stated Iran has substantially increased efforts to target US personnel. This alert comes amid broader regional security concerns involving Houthi attacks and Iranian threats.
