PNN – A Russian publication has reported that, in a new phase of the conflict against it, Iran might extend its attacks to U.S. soil.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; Russian expert Igor Subbotin, writing for the newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta, stated that a classified memorandum prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) indicates that Iran has reached an advanced stage of planning attacks against U.S. military personnel and diplomats in the Middle East.
The report adds that Iranian attacks might not be limited to U.S. military personnel stationed in the Middle East; according to sources cited by The New York Times, the list of potential targets could also include American politicians. The report claims that U.S. intelligence has received information suggesting the Islamic Republic may utilize its sleeper cells—comprising its own operatives—within the United States to plan and carry out assassination operations.
U.S. intelligence services allege that Iran has succeeded in recruiting a number of American citizens to conduct attacks on U.S. soil.
This situation has compelled the U.S. State Department to rapidly scale back its diplomatic presence and partially evacuate staff from embassies and consulates across several Middle Eastern countries. In this context, Rubio has ordered an immediate expansion of the list of personnel authorized to access intelligence regarding Iran’s plans, ensuring that sensitive information is shared with a smaller number of individuals who might otherwise be at risk of capture.
Meanwhile, Politico reported that, amid escalating threats from leaders in the United States and the Zionist regime, many Iranians are preparing for a return to all-out war.
The publication adds that Iranian officials are currently assessing potential scenarios and planning the necessary measures.
