The fresh intelligence about Iran is the "most concerning" information to come in since the killing of Soleimani last year. "We're seeing planning for, particularly in Iraq for complex attacks that require Iranian assistance in order to be pulled off," the official warned. "The Iraqis are really stepping up to the plate here" to disrupt future attacks against Americans, the official said. All U.S. military planning against Iran is "defensive" in nature, the official said, as a precaution in case Iran does launch any new attacks against American interests. They said Soleimani was also responsible for a spate of rocket attacks against U.S. bases and the embassy in Iraq.
