Pentagon Raises Israeli Espionage Threat Level Amid Tensions
The Pentagon has reportedly elevated its counterintelligence threat assessment of Israeli espionage activities against the United States to the highest level ever. This decision, as reported by NBC News, is primarily driven by tensions between Israeli and American officials regarding strategies in the ongoing conflict with Iran and its proxy groups. The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) issued an internal memo categorizing the threat level as 'critical.' Concerns have been raised that Israeli agents might attempt to surveil top U.S. officials to gather information on the Trump administration's decisions in the Middle East. The assessment includes a detailed brief and charts outlining the threat level. Despite these reports, the Israeli Embassy in Washington has denied the allegations, stating that Israel does not gather intelligence on U.S. entities, emphasizing that its intelligence efforts are focused on its enemies.
