Three senior Iranian officials told Reuters on October 1 that commanders are reviewing plans to hit targets outside the Middle East if U.S. strikes resume. President Trump says the strikes resume after the midterms. A third carrier and roughly 9,000 more troops are moving toward the Gulf.
Tehran did not leak that to a wire service by accident. The message is aimed at Washington, and what it reaches is closer to home. A hired man gets closer than a missile. The documented plots already run through American cities, aimed at synagogues, dissidents, bases and crowds. Nobody has confirmed a cell waiting in a U.S. city, and the SITREP keeps that line clear.
Today’s SITREP covers the early warning signs, from police cars parked at houses of worship to recruiting offices closed midweek with the blinds down, and the three moves: map every soft target within five miles that fits the pattern, learn what target surveillance looks like and report it the same day, and set the family trigger before the strikes start. 🗺️
