Right-wing political commentator Laura Loomer claimed on 6 May that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned her she is being targeted by Iranian operatives, a claim that brings renewed attention to Tehran's expanding cyber and physical threat operations against US figures beyond the halls of government.
Loomer made the claim in a post on X, saying the FBI under Director Kash Patel had informed her of the Iranian threat. The claim has not been independently verified, and the FBI has not publicly commented on whether Loomer received such a warning.
