US security officials were briefed last month about a threat to senior military leaders on US soil, possibly in retaliation to the US killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani
 in January, according to a Friday report.

FBI, CIA and military officials received a briefing on the threat following an incident involving an Iranian national in the US, NBC News reported, citing five senior US officials with knowledge of the matter.
Some of the sources said the threat against Pentagon brasshats may be related to Soleimani’s killing, but did not say there was a definite connection. The sources said the officials being targeted were military leaders tied to the liquidation, the report said.
The officials were also informed of a list put together by foes of the US that includes the names of military leaders being targeted.
The report comes as US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper visits the Middle East and India, including a stop in Israel. Information about his visit was kept more guarded than usual, indicating potential security fears.
The briefings on the threat took place following an incident on September 22 when a defense official in the US was tailed by a vehicle driven by an Iranian national. The driver followed the defense official, sometimes driving aggressively, for five to seven miles, before the official’s security detail managed to evade the Iranian driver. It’s unclear whether the incident represented a serious threat.
The report’s sources did not say if the driver had been questioned or put in jug. It was also unknown whether US President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
had been informed of the threat.
Last month, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards chief said that Tehran will avenge the killing of Soleimani by targeting those involved in an "honorable" retaliation.
The guard’s website quoted General Hossein Salami as saying, "Mr. Trump! Our Dire Revenge for martyrdom of our great general is obvious, serious and real."
The powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is designated a terrorist organization by the US.
Trump warned last month that Washington would harshly respond to any Iranian attempts to take Dire Revenge for the death of Soleimani, tweeting that "if they hit us in any way, any form, written instructions already done we’re going to hit them 1000 times harder."
The president’s warning came in response to a report that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
was plotting to assassinate the US ambassador to South Africa, Lana Marks, in retaliation for Soleimani’s killing at Baghdad’s airport.
A separate report last month said that American intelligence reports indicated Iran has avoided strong military action against the US because it believes restraint will help prevent Trump’s reelection.

, under which Tehran sharply curtailed its nuclear work in exchange for promises of sanctions relief.
Trump has stepped up economic pressure on Iran with sanctions since he pulled the United States out of Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2018.
Tehran has continued to expand its stockpile of enriched uranium and pressured other nations to offset the harm of US sanctions, while insisting it does not want to develop a nuclear weapon.
Satellite images released this week showed Iran has begun construction at its Natanz nuclear facility, just as the UN’s nuclear agency acknowledged Tehran was building an underground advanced centrifuge assembly plant after its last one went kaboom! in a reported sabotage attack last summer.
