A memo submitted to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on October 23 warned of a sharp increase in Iranian operations against American diplomats and officials, with some alleged lethal plots at an advanced stage, BlockBeats reported on October 24, citing Axios.
Wider briefings sought
The memo urged wider sharing of the threat information with U.S. personnel who might be at risk, according to the report. Officials cited the intelligence as one reason for staffing reductions at several U.S. embassies in the Middle East.
The memo did not identify specific targets or detail the alleged plots, the report said.
