Sorry if this is old news to you guys, but I heard about
this on BBC World service, but _didn't_ hear about it on
NPR or ABC hourly broadcasts.  Seems like this would be
more of a story in the U.S.

Unfortunately, the ultimate source seems to be the story
on Politico (linked below) which claims to have two
sources, both anonymous.  Yes, I'm skeptical -- but
frankly, I'm not sure what Iran is thinking after we
took out their guy in Iraq.

Keep an eye out for funny business.

Officials: Iran weighing plot to kill U.S. ambassador to South Africa

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/13/iran-south-africa-ambassador-assassination-plot-413831

Obquote:
The Iranian government is weighing an assassination
attempt against the American ambassador to
South Africa, U.S. intelligence reports say,
according to a U.S. government official familiar
with the issue and another official who has seen
the intelligence.
