On March 9th, U.S. intelligence has intercepted encrypted signals that could be activating Iranian sleeper agents around the world. These transmissions, likely from Iran, popped up right after the Supreme Leader Ayatollah, Ali Kaminay, was killed in a U.S. Israel strike last month. The messages were relayed through several countries and aimed at secret recipients who hold the decryption keys. Officials sent out alerts to law enforcement, urging them to stay on high alert. In the U.K., there's growing worry about sleeper cells plotting attacks, prompting reports of an elite SAS team moving to London for protection. Experts say this kind of leadership change in Iran might push operatives to act out, targeting dissidents or even hitting critical infrastructure like banks and power grids. Police have ramped up efforts with fears of lone wolf attacks echoing the deadly incidents of 2017. Recently, U.K. countertaired detectives got extra time to question four men arrested for spying on Jewish sites, one Iranian and three-doll.

British Iranian nationals, age 22, 40, 52, and 55. Qatar also nabbed 10 suspects tied to Iran's revolutionary guard for spying and sabotage. Oil prices have jumped above $100 a barrel, stoking inflation worries, as leaders push for coordinated releases from global reserves to steady the markets amid detentions.
