The White House highlighted the effectiveness of U.S. intelligence in monitoring global threats, evidenced by the early warning given to Russia about an upcoming deadly ISIS attack in Moscow. This proactive measure is part of the U.S. intelligence community's 'duty to warn' policy, which also saw a similar warning issued to Iran before the Kerman suicide bombings in January. Despite the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East, these actions demonstrate the U.S.'s continued capability to track and alert nations about emerging threats, although adversaries do not always heed these warnings.
