The Director of National Intelligence has warned that Iran has substantially increased its efforts to target Americans, both in the Middle East and other countries.
What happened
A memo from the Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, to the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, stated that Iran's lethal plotting efforts against US citizens have reached advanced stages.
The warning came after the US evacuated nonessential personnel from its embassy in Saudi Arabia. This move was reportedly a precautionary measure in response to the increased threat from Iran.
In related news, Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, launched a crackdown in the West Bank city of Hebron, following the killing of two Israeli soldiers by Palestinians.
