The FBI is returning counterterrorism agents who were ordered to focus on immigration cases back to their old jobs due to concern about potential threats from Iran.

FBI pivots resources to cybersecurity and counterterrorism amid escalating tensions with Iran following missile attacks on U.S. base in Qatar and American strikes, a source said.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is reportedly reassigning agents from immigration cases to counter potential attacks from Iranian agents in the U.S., sources told NBC News on Tuesday.

FBI field offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Philadelphia have canceled rotations for agents to work on immigration issues, one of the sources said.
