According to CNN, citing two sources, US intelligence agents saw the threat of a possible Iranian UAV attack on US targets.

“There is an indication that we need to monitor threats even more closely than before,” one source said.

According to another, all Patriot air defense systems and military forces in the Middle East region are on high alert.

It was previously reported that the United States began deploying six of its strategic B-52 bombers to a base on the Indian Ocean Diego Garcia Island “amid a growing threat from Iran.”

Iranian General Kassem Suleimani was killed during a U.S. special operation near Baghdad's international airport on January 3.
