US Intelligence Warns of Advanced Iranian Plots to Target Americans

A declassified intelligence memo from DNI Jay Clayton to Secretary of State Marco Rubio warns that Iranian efforts to target U.S. personnel have substantially increased. In response, the State Department has ordered the departure of non-essential staff from various Middle Eastern diplomatic posts. These developments occur amid rising regional tensions and reports that the Trump administration is preparing to restart military operations.

CURRENT MARKET

Will any Uranium Enrichment % Cap (1+ Year) be in a US-Iran deal in 2026?

⚠Risk: The weak link is the absence of any signed or adopted cap; direct US-Iran talks, a published draft, or an announced signing would show a qualifying deal is forming.

Next watch: Settlement at the market deadline; monitor official US and Iranian texts for a qualifying enrichment cap lasting at least one year.
