The FBI has opened an investigation into a series of online threats aimed at Lawdan Bazargan, a former University of Arkansas professor. Sources say the threats were issued by a colleague with connections to Iranian officials, raising concerns about foreign influence and intimidation. Authorities are probing how the messages were disseminated and whether they constitute a violation of U.S. cybercrime laws. The case highlights the growing risk of politically motivated harassment targeting academics in the digital age.
