Pentagon Raises Counterintelligence Threat Level Over Israeli Espionage Concerns

The U.S. Defense Department has raised its counterintelligence threat level to the highest tier. The upgrade reflects growing concerns about foreign espionage activities. Officials say Israel is suspected of conducting surveillance on U.S. diplomatic talks. The alleged eavesdropping targeted negotiations between Washington and Iran. The Pentagon’s assessment places Israel among the most serious intelligence threats. The move underscores tensions over American foreign policy in the Middle East. Washington has not disclosed specific evidence but warned of potential security breaches. The heightened alert may prompt tighter safeguards on future diplomatic communications.
