Washington torn between FBI warnings and reassuring rhetoric about the Iranian threat
Washington torn between FBI warnings and reassuring rhetoric about the Iranian threat

A report by US intelligence services warns of a "persistent threat" from Iran to the United States, contradicting the more cautious communication from the White House.

According to this document from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, transmitted to local law enforcement in March, Tehran would represent an increased risk to several sensitive targets, including military personnel, government buildings and certain institutions, including sites linked to the Jewish community.

The report also mentions attempts to lure victims abroad with the potential aim of carrying out kidnappings or assassinations, highlighting an indirect and global strategy.

At the same time, the president's administration Donald Trump reportedly sought to publicly downplay the likelihood of attacks, even going so far as to block the release of a similar report, according to sources cited by Reuters.

This discrepancy highlights internal tensions between intelligence agencies and the executive branch, while the conflict with Iran fuels security concerns on American soil.

While a fragile ceasefire has just been concluded, these revelations serve as a reminder that security risks remain high, despite the ongoing diplomatic de-escalation.
