Overview

  • The five-page joint bulletin from the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center was intended for state and local authorities.
  • Reuters confirmed the release was put on hold for an accuracy review, with an administration official criticizing the draft as lacking sufficient insight and clarity.
  • A DHS spokesperson told Reuters it is normal to share such bulletins with the White House for review before dissemination.
  • Anonymous agency sources quoted elsewhere say top officials ordered a last-minute hold and directed that future Iran-related unclassified materials receive White House review.
  • The draft warned of elevated threats to U.S. government and military personnel, Jewish and Israeli institutions, and Iranian dissidents, noted potential lone-actor violence, and included response guidance for local police.
