The media obtained a copy of the memorandum handed over to US Secretary of State Rubio on October 23, showing that US intelligence services discovered that Iran has greatly stepped up its planning of attacks against US diplomats and officials in the Middle East and other regions, and that plans for many fatal assassinations have advanced to the advanced stage. US officials said that this intelligence was one of the reasons the State Department withdrew personnel from many US embassies in the Middle East, and the US side is concerned that the regional conflict will expand further. At the same time, the US side is worried that the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen will extend the scope of the attack from Saudi Arabia to other countries in the region. In this one-page non-confidential memorandum obtained by the media, Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton proposed to Rubio that this intelligence on Iran's assassination plan needs to be made known to more US personnel, and currently the range of people authorized to check it is limited. The memorandum did not specify the specific targets, countries involved outside the Middle East, and details of the attack plan, but it indicates that relevant core intelligence has been shared simultaneously with senior State Council officials. Clayton proposed reducing the secret level of this sensitive information as much as possible to allow Rubio to widely inform those at risk of being attacked.
