Pentagon Elevates Israeli Espionage Threat Level Amid Middle East Tensions
The Pentagon has reportedly increased its counterintelligence threat assessment of Israeli espionage activities against the United States to the highest level ever recorded. According to NBC News, this decision stems from ongoing tensions between Israeli and American officials regarding strategies in the conflict with Iran and its proxy groups. The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) issued an internal memo categorizing the threat level as 'critical,' raising concerns that Israeli agents might attempt to gather intelligence on the Trump administration's decisions in the Middle East. The assessment includes a detailed seven-page brief with charts outlining the perceived threat. However, the Israeli Embassy in Washington has refuted these claims, labeling them as 'completely false' and asserting that Israel does not conduct intelligence operations against the U.S. The Pentagon and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have not commented on the report.
