U.S. intelligence warns Iranian plots to kill Americans are in 'advanced stages'

Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton warned Friday that Iran has substantially increased efforts to target U.S. personnel abroad, with plots to kill Americans reaching advanced stages in the Middle East and other countries. The warning, contained in an unclassified memo that was sent to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and obtained by CBS News, comes as the State Department adjusts staffing at diplomatic posts across the Middle East , and the U.S. military pares back its footprint in the region, amid concerns about direct threats from Iran and threats from the Iranian-backed Houthi movement in Yemen. The lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages in both the Middle East and certain other countries, Clayton wrote. The memo, which was issued as the Trump administration weighs resuming military strikes against Iran, does not identify specific targets or countries where the alleged plots are underway, or indicate whether attacks may be imminent. Clayton said the U.S. intelligence community is working to downgrade sensitive intelligence received through various channels so it can be shared more broadly with State Department personnel. CIA Director John Ratcliffe was copied on the memo. Axios was first to report on the memo. The warning follows a series of precautions at U.S. diplomatic facilities across the region. Earlier this week, the State Department ordered non-essential U.S. embassy personnel and their families to depart Saudi Arabia. Several other American embassies in the region adjusted their staffing under restricted operations status, which allows them to reduce the number of personnel without formally going on ordered departure, CBS News previously reported. When it comes to our staffing at embassies, we constantly evaluate new information about the security environment, a U.S. official told CBS News on Friday. The threat of Houthi attacks and of Iranian terror plots targeting U.S. officials are informing our decisions on staffing adjustments for embassies on RO [Restricted Operations] Status in the region. A U.S. official and a senior U.S. military official also told CBS News this week that the military has been quietly reducing its footprint at posts in the Middle East due to ongoing threats. Houthi militants have stepped up drone and missile attacks against Saudi Arabia, targeting oil infrastructure and airports. One strike on Riyadh's King Khalid Airport earlier this month killed at least a dozen people , including a U.S. citizen, and injured hundreds more. Last weekend, U.S. embassies in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and other countries warned Americans to exercise caution due to Houthi attacks. Although the U.S. and Iran have refrained from striking each other in recent weeks, President Trump has not ruled out restarting hostilities after next month's midterm elections. Iran has also continued to take responsibility for attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. At a campaign rally in Florida on Friday, Mr. Trump suggested the U.S. could launch another operation against Iran if Tehran failed to reach an agreement. We may do another little Epic Fury, or they'll agree, the president said, invoking the name of the U.S. military campaign launched in February.

'There's babies in there': Hero dad who stopped Oregon school shooter shares his story

Kaylub Giamanco, the man praised as a hero for fatally shooting a gunman at a school in Bend, Oregon, last week, is speaking out for the first time about the moments leading up to the shooting and how he is grappling with the aftermath. The 36-year-old carpenter, whose two daughters attend Silver Rail Elementary School, told Oregon Public Broadcasting that it was happenstance that he was passing by the school at that moment. He said he had decided to go home for lunch that day instead of eating the food he had packed. As he drove by the elementary school, he saw a man in black holding a long gun and shooting at a vehicle. At first, he thought it was a prank, but then the shooter threw the gun over the school fence before climbing it. That's when panic fled into my brain and that's when I opened my center console and said, 'No. No. No. No,' Giamanco said in the interview. In the console of his truck was a .40-caliber handgun he rarely used. He said he grabbed the weapon's magazine from another compartment, drove into the school parking lot and saw the shooter walk across school grounds. I just was in full panic, like, 'No, there's children, there's babies in there,' he recalled. I told my Siri to call 911. He said the dispatcher had questions for him, but he didn't stay on the call. I said, 'I'm sorry, I have to go in. People are going to die,' Giamanco said. He described trying to stay out of sight as he followed the gunman. I heard him fire two shots into the doors, Giamanco said. That's when I started hearing children pleading for their lives and then I started hearing gunfire and I just started army crawling faster and faster and I told myself this is probably the last thing that I'm ever going to do. Giamanco said he crawled in through a broken window, staying on his knees until he reached the special education classroom. He said he saw a teacher struggling with the shooter. He said he swung the door open and fired. He (the shooter) was scrambling for his weapon, Giamanco said. I looked at him and I shot him two more times to make sure that he couldn't move because I was afraid of him shooting anybody else. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek was among those who praised Giamanco's bravery, saying he heroically intervened to stop further loss of life. Police Chief Mike Krantz also credited the teacher who tackled the shooter and fought to take his gun, which almost certainly helped prevent more bloodshed. Police later identified the shooter as 16-year-old Griffin J. John II. The attack killed three children , ages 5, 8 and 11, and a 25-year-old teacher. A 7-year-old girl and a 54-year-old teacher were wounded. I didn't save everybody. I didn't get them all. After police and first responders arrived at the school, Giamanco went back to his truck, emptied his weapon and called his wife and then his mother. She was just like, 'OK, baby, calm down. You did the right thing. You're a hero. You saved lives.' And I was just like, 'I didn't save everybody. I didn't get them all,' he recalled of the conversation with his mom. His mother, Kenda Freeman, who lives in California, told CBS News Sacramento that her son has a genuine heart and he loves his community and his family and his children. A week later, Giamanco told Oregon Public Broadcasting that when he goes to bed at night, he replays that day in his head and wonders if he could have stopped the shooter sooner. I relive, I see faces, I hear voices, I hear screams, he said. It was split-second decisions while gunfire was going off, while children were losing their lives. He grew emotional when talking about the families who lost children. I want to apologize for not saving their babies, he said. The gratitude for saving people's children is awesome, but there were ones that I didn't save. In the days after the shooting, Giamanco sought to avoid the limelight, putting out a brief statement expressing gratitude to first responders and the community. However, he told Oregon Public Broadcasting he's now decided to share his story. I've always wanted to change the world, but I've felt small. I'm just a carpenter from Bend, Oregon. I was a nobody other than to my friends and family, he said. I feel like if I'm going to have a voice, then I'll be damned if I'm not going to use it to change this world, to make it a better place. He said he hopes to help raise funds for local schools to improve their safety.

Judge rules Jane Doe in Cornell case can remain anonymous while pursuing lawsuit

A judge in New York on Friday decided the former Cornell University student known as Jane Doe can pursue her sexual assault claim against the university and seven fraternity members while remaining anonymous. Permission to proceed in litigation under a pseudonym is not automatic, but the judge said the notoriety of the allegations and widespread reports of certain malicious actors' behavior warranted anonymity. Jane Doe says she felt 'unsupported and disbelieved' by Cornell president The judge's decision came with a warning to those who have threatened Jane Doe and others connected to the case. While the Court is cognizant that some members of the public have made it their mission to try and identify Jane Doe, and have likewise tried to use what they believe to be Jane Doe's identity to harass and threaten certain individuals allegedly tied to her, the Court issues the following words of caution: cyberstalking and engaging in or encouraging threats across state lines, whether it be of Jane Doe, any of the named defendants, or their attorneys, can be considered a federal crime and perpetrators of those acts may be subjecting themselves to prosecution, Judge Phaedra Perry-Bond wrote in her opinion.

Former Cornell fraternity president dropped from Jane Doe lawsuit Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit alleging she had been drugged and gang-raped at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. All seven men named in the lawsuit have denied wrongdoing and no criminal charges have been filed in the case. Her attorney, Thomas Giuffra, has previously told ABC News that Jane Doe and her family have been subjected to threats, doxxing and other forms of harassment. New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was appointed by Gov. Kathy Hochul, is conducting an investigation into the incident. Cornell, which said it fully supports the appointment of a special prosecutor, is also conducting an internal probe of its response to the allegations. The case has rocked the university and started conversations about treatment of sexual assault allegations on college campuses across the country. Cornell has said it takes allegations of allegations of sexual violence extremely seriously and that it investigated and adjudicated the allegations consistent with university policies. At the same time, the university has said it is committed to taking additional steps to improve campus safety.
