Still, attacking Marks is one of several options U.S. officials believe Iran\u2019s regime is considering for retaliation since the general, Qassem Soleimani, was assassinated by a U.S. drone strike in January. At the time, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the U.S. killed Soleimani to re-establish deterrence against Iran. <\/p>\n

An intelligence community directive known as \u201cDuty to Warn\u201d<\/a> requires U.S. spy agencies to notify a potential victim if intelligence indicates their life could be in danger; in the case of U.S. government officials, credible threats would be included in briefings and security planning. Marks has been made aware of the threat, the U.S. government official said. The intelligence also has been included in the CIA World Intelligence Review, known as the WIRe, a classified product that is accessible to senior policy and security officials across the U.S. government, as well as certain lawmakers and their staff.<\/p>\n

Marks, 66, was sworn in<\/a> as the U.S. ambassador last October. She\u2019s known Trump for more than two decades and has been a member<\/a> of his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Critics of Trump have derided her as a \u201chandbag designer<\/a>,\u201d but her supporters retort that she is a successful businesswoman \u2014 her eponymous handbags run as much as $40,000 \u2014 with numerous international connections. A personal friend of the late Princess Diana, she also was born in South Africa and speaks some of the country\u2019s key languages, including Afrikaans and Xhosa.<\/p>\n

The intelligence community isn\u2019t exactly sure why Iranians would target Marks, who has few, if any, known links to Iran. It\u2019s possible the Iranians took her long friendship with Trump into consideration, the U.S. government official said.<\/p>\n

The Iranian government also operates clandestine networks in South Africa, the officials noted, and has had a foothold there for decades. In 2015, Al Jazeera and The Guardian reported<\/a> on leaked intelligence documents that detailed an extensive secret network of Iranian operatives in South Africa. Marks may also be an easier target than U.S. diplomats in other parts of the world, such as Western Europe, where the U.S. has stronger relationships with local law enforcement and intelligence services.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Islamist leaders have a history<\/a> of carrying out assassinations beyond their country\u2019s borders, as well as taking hostages, since seizing power following a popular uprising in the late 1970s. In recent decades, Iran has generally avoided directly targeting U.S. diplomats, although Iranian-backed militias have long attacked U.S. diplomatic facilities and personnel in Iraq. <\/p>\n

Trump alleged after Soleimani\u2019s killing that the Iranian general had been plotting attacks on American diplomatic missions, although U.S. officials later cast doubt<\/a> on his claims. \u201cThey were looking to blow up our embassy,\u201d Trump said in January, referring to the massive, heavily fortified U.S. diplomatic compound in Iraq. Later, in a Fox News interview, he said, \u201cI can reveal I believe it probably would\u2019ve been four embassies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Days after Soleimani\u2019s death, Iran launched a ballistic missile salvo<\/a> at a military base in Iraq that housed U.S. forces, causing traumatic brain injuries among dozens of American troops. Trump declined to retaliate and said<\/a>, \u201cIran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world\u201d \u2014 though he announced fresh sanctions on the Iranian regime and warned it against further retaliatory moves.<\/p>\n

Some analysts, however, said at the time that Iran likely would seek other ways to avenge Soleimani\u2019s death. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command, was at the top of Iran\u2019s hit list earlier this year, according to media reports<\/a>. McKenzie said last month<\/a> that he expected a new \u201cresponse\u201d from Iran to America\u2019s ongoing presence in Iraq.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not know what the nature of that response will be, but we will certainly be ready for it, should it occur,\u201d he said. On Wednesday, McKenzie confirmed<\/a> plans to cut the U.S. troop presence in Iraq from 5,200 to 3,000 by the end of September.<\/p>\n

During an online forum<\/a> in August, McKenzie said Iran was \u201cour central problem\u201d in the region, and acknowledged that the danger from Iranian proxies in Iraq had complicated U.S. efforts against ISIS, the radical Sunni terrorist organization and movement. \u201cThe threat against our forces from Shia militant groups has caused us to put resources that we would otherwise use against ISIS to provide for our own defense and that has lowered our ability to work effectively against them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The White House-based National Security Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Neither did an Iranian official with Iran\u2019s mission at the United Nations, nor a South African embassy official in Washington. Spokespeople for the State Department, the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment.<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Iran have been bitter foes for decades, openly confronting each other at times \u2014 and gingerly engaging in diplomacy at others \u2014 but more often waging a shadowy battle for power and influence across the broader Middle East. Under Trump, the two countries have veered toward outright military conflict<\/a> on more than one occasion. <\/p>\n

Last summer, the U.S. blamed Iran and its proxies for a series of explosions aimed at oil tankers. Iran took down a U.S. drone, and the U.S. later managed to take down an Iranian drone.<\/p>\n

Trump acknowledged<\/a> that, after Iran took down the U.S. drone, he nearly authorized a direct attack on Iranian soil, but he held off after being told 150 people could die \u2014 a toll he said was disproportionate.<\/p>\n

The countries\u2019 dispute deepened in the months afterward, especially in Iraq, where America and the U.S. have long engaged in proxy warfare. In December, an American contractor was killed<\/a> in Iraq after an attack by an Iranian-allied militia. The U.S. reacted by bombing sites held by the group, killing around two dozen of its fighters. Soon afterward, protesters<\/a> believed linked to the militia breached parts of the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad.<\/p>\n

Then, in early January, the United States staged an airstrike that killed Soleimani as he was visiting Baghdad. It was a major escalation<\/a> given Soleimani\u2019s importance in Iran, although U.S. officials described it as a defensive measure.<\/p>\n

Soleimani led the Quds Force, a unit of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that oversees much of the country\u2019s military activities outside its borders. Americans blame him for the death of numerous U.S. troops in the region.<\/p>\n

Iran vowed to retaliate. Its first major move was the Jan. 8 missile attack on the al-Asad military base in Iraq. But around the same time, an Iranian missile took down a civilian airliner<\/a>, killing 176 people and leading to fury inside Iran at the regime\u2019s incompetence and shifting explanations for the incident, along with condemnation abroad.<\/p>\n

Iran and South Africa have cooperated on a number of fronts in recent decades, including at the United Nations, where South Africa has at times advocated<\/a> for Iran. South Africa\u2019s uranium deposits are believed to have been a major interest for Iran as it was ramping up its nuclear program, which Tehran has always insisted was meant for peaceful energy purposes, not a bomb. The pair also have a military relationship<\/a>, having signed some basic defense pacts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Strange Iran-connected plots have been uncovered before.<\/p>\n

Almost a decade ago, the U.S. arrested and eventually sentenced to prison an Iranian-American man who was alleged to have tried to hire Mexican drug cartel assassins to kill Saudi Arabia\u2019s ambassador to the United States as he dined in Cafe Milano, a swanky Washington restaurant frequented by the city\u2019s wealthy and powerful. The U.S. accused<\/a> Soleimani of overseeing the plot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
