US forces and air-defense missile batteries across the Middle East were placed on high alert overnight Monday to possibly shoot down Iranian drones as intelligence mounted about a threat of an imminent attack against US targets, two US officials tell CNN.

The second official described it as “all Patriot batteries and forces in the area on high alert” against an “imminent attack threat.”
