Iran has made credible threats against Fort McNair army base in the nation’s capital and against Gen. Joseph M. Martin in retaliation for the US killing of a top general in Baghdad in January 2020. The Associated Press reports that the National Security Agency intercepted communications in January showing that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard discussed a “USS Cole-style attack” referring to the October 2000 suicide bombing against the Navy destroyer in Yemen, which killed 17 sailors. The intercept also revealed a direct threat to kill Martin, who lives at the base in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s former Quds leader, General Qasem Soleimani.
