Iran Threatens U.S Army Base and Top General

“Iran has made threats against Fort McNair, an Army base in the nation’s capital, and against the Army’s vice chief of staff,” the AP reports.

“They said communications intercepted by the National Security Agency in January showed that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard discussed mounting ‘USS Cole-style attacks’ against the base, referring to the October 2000 suicide attack in which a small boat pulled up alongside the Navy destroyer in the Yemeni port of Aden and exploded, killing 17 sailors.”

“The intelligence also revealed threats to kill Gen. Joseph M. Martin and plans to infiltrate and surveil the base.”
