GOP lawmakers are requesting the Biden administration provide a classified briefing concerning Iran's “brazen activities,” including alleged plans to assassinate U.S. officials.
Seeking insights on the collaborative measures being adopted by U.S. national security and law enforcement agencies in anticipating and countering “persistent threats” by Tehran, the letter cites warnings of possible retaliation by the Islamic Republic against American citizens, including senior United States officials, for the killing of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in 2020.
Beyond these threats, the letter also draws attention to Iran’s attempts to suppress critics of its regime both in the United States and globally, including an attack on British-Indian journalist Salman Rushdie in New York last year and a plot unearthed in January targeting opposition activist, writer, and journalist Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-American critic of Iran’s human rights abuses in exile in New York...
“[I]t is curious that while these egregious activities continue, the Biden administration is not taking actions to impose consequences on the Iranian regime and instead has renewed its push for a nuclear deal with Iran,” it continues.
