Newspaper: Iran plans to assassinate an American ambassador, in response to the assassination of Soleimani
According to US intelligence reports, the Iranian government is studying the assassination of the American ambassador to South Africa, Lana Marks, according to a US government official familiar with the case and another official who has access to the intelligence information.
Officials told the American newspaper, Politico, that "news of the conspiracy comes at a time when Iran continues to search for ways to respond to President Donald Trump's decision to kill the powerful Iranian general Qassem Soleimani earlier this year."
According to the newspaper, "If this scheme is implemented, it could lead to an already serious escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran, and create tremendous pressure on Trump to respond, in the middle of a tense election season."
The officials added, "US officials have been aware of a general threat against Ambassador Lana Marks since the spring, but intelligence information about the threat to which the ambassador is exposed has become more specific in recent weeks."
The US government official said, "The Iranian embassy in Pretoria is involved in the conspiracy."
Nevertheless, attacking Marx is one of the many options that US officials believe the Iranian regime has contemplated for revenge since the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani by a US drone strike in January.

9-13-2020 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan We see that in...articles that are out lately that the reform papers and budgets are being talked about. They talk about not only the 2019, 2020 and 2021. They will not hopscotch around any of them... They are to be in-sync and in order. They feed off each other. The Finance Minister has shown the 2020 Draft to the parliament days ago. The draft has the exchange rate at a program rate, as it has been not voted on it yet, a not normal thing at all. But they tell us that the budget can be changed or delayed. In other words the 2020 budget can be amended. I believe there is support that it will be amended away from a program rate. Because, they are not able to borrow at a program rate or they would have already. They have exhausted all avenues with the IMF, WB, countries, etc...imo...
9-13-2020 Newshound Guru Jeff Why is Iraq in the process of approving a 3-year budget? Why 3? Why no just the '21 budget? It's because of the reforms. They told you the reforms can only be implemented in stages and phases. So they can only implement the reforms over an extended period of time. They're showing you they're starting the reforms in this year of 2020 - in the second half of the year...they're going to span the reforms over almost a 4-year period...from 2020 through '23...

9-13-2020 Newshound Guru Jeff ...there is no rate inside the budget...because the reforms are in the budget that makes the budget married to the rate change. Because the reforms require the currency to become internationally recognized... that's whey the budget is married to the rate change. That's also why the reforms are inside the budget, that makes everything married to the rate change and dependent on the rate change. They're showing you that they couldn't implement these reforms and push forward with them until the currency is internationally recognized...that's what we're waiting for...
9-13-2020 Newshound Guru Pimpy Article: "Iraqi Politician Calls For Normalization of Ties with Israel" ...more possible peace in the Middle East...now Iraq politicians are indeed wanting to normalize ties with Israel...you're gonna see more of this. More and more. Then of course the media is going to keep trying to find ways to keep you distracted from all the great things that Trump has done...who does not want peace? ...I would love to see peace in the Middle East.
