Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level: NBC News
The move follows concerns that Israeli operatives are seeking insight into Trump administration deliberations on Iran, officials said, while intelligence sharing continues.
- The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency raised its counterintelligence threat assessment for Israel to "critical," its highest possible designation, amid growing worries over aggressive surveillance targeting American personnel, according to NBC News.
- The decision stems from concerns that Israel is actively monitoring top U.S. officials to extract sensitive information about the Trump administration’s internal deliberations and decision-making regarding Middle Eastern conflicts.
- The escalation follows sharpening strategic friction between President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who reportedly had a tense phone call this week clashing over Lebanon operations and U.S. diplomatic peace talks with Iran.
- The Israeli Embassy in Washington and the White House both vehemently denied the report, with Israel calling the allegations completely false and politically motivated, while the Pentagon has officially declined to comment.
