At the end of last month, a senior US intelligence official warned in a memo seen by Reuters that Iran had intensified attempts to target US personnel. In the official's assessment, Tehran's plans to kill US citizens had reached “advanced stages.”

Assessment by US officials

Iran previously denied that it was planning attacks on officials and other people on US territory. At the same time, as the Jerusalem Post writes, US officials believe Iran's ability to carry out large-scale attacks in the United States and other locations abroad is limited.
