A source familiar told Fox News Digital that the FBI is pivoting resources to cybersecurity and counterterrorism efforts.

Following Iran’s launch of short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles targeting a U.S. base in Qatar on Monday, the FBI has decided to reallocate some of its resources. This missile attack was a reaction to the United States’ strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities that occurred on Saturday.

ABC News first reported the development.

Following the U.S. attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iranian state television declared every American citizen or soldier in the Middle East a legitimate target.

In a statement, the FBI told Fox News Digital it continually assesses its resources to respond to pressing threats.

“The FBI does not comment on specific operational adjustments or personnel decisions. However, we continuously assess and realign our resources to respond to the most pressing threats to our national security and to ensure the safety of the American people,” an FBI official told Fox News Digital.

President Donald Trump announced Monday that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire.
