Live updates: Trump orders DOJ to release Epstein grand jury testimony; PBS, NPR and foreign aid cuts clear Congress
Yesterday, U.S. Army Special Operations Command released a notification about 'a potential terrorist threat targeting retired senior officials' who previous served in the Defense Department with roles in both Iraq and Syria. The threat is specifically for people in Florida.
'This was a credible threat and we notified those involved,' a U.S. military official said. 'Security and safety of SOF personnel is important to us. I cannot share more for security reasons,' the official said.
The notification, known as a duty to warn, does not identify what the threat is or what group is behind it, and it does not refer to those currently on active duty. There have been reports in the past of threats from Iran to Trump and others in his administration, including those specifically involved in the 2020 assassination of Iranian leader Qassem Soleimani.
The threat is specific to a small group of individuals, but the warning went out to a wide swath of people, the U.S. military official said.
