"The CIA Hears You": Viral Intelligence Campaign Targets Iranian Protesters

The CIA has launched a dramatic social media campaign targeting Iranian citizens, providing secure video instructions on how to communicate with American intelligence as protests grip the nation.

In a move that signals a massive escalation in the psychological and intelligence war against the Iranian regime, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has released a direct appeal to the people of Iran. Utilizing a high-definition video message posted across social media platforms, the agency addressed the millions of protesters currently challenging the Islamic Republic's authority. The message, which has already gone viral within the country’s underground digital networks, explicitly tells the Iranian public that the United States is listening to their struggle and is ready to provide the tools necessary for secure communication. This digital intervention coincides with reports of students tearing down regime posters in Tehran, suggesting that Washington is actively seeking to turn internal unrest into a coordinated intelligence asset.

Instructions for a Secure Call

The CIA’s post was not merely a gesture of solidarity but a technical manual for covert action. "Hello, the Central Intelligence Agency hears your cry and wants to help you," the message stated in Farsi. It was accompanied by a detailed video providing "tips" on how to conduct secure virtual calls that can bypass the regime’s extensive surveillance apparatus. By teaching protesters how to use encrypted channels and secure video links, the CIA is attempting to create a "virtual bridge" between the Iranian streets and Washington’s decision-makers. This strategy aims to gather real-time intelligence on regime movements while offering a sense of international protection to those risking their lives in the protests.

A Strategy of Internal Collapse

The timing of this campaign is no accident. With President Trump considering a "limited strike" to force nuclear concessions, the CIA is clearly preparing for the possibility of a total regime collapse. By establishing these secure lines of communication now, the U.S. hopes to identify moderate elements within the military and civilian population who can assist in a transition if the mullahs are removed from power. For the Iranian government, this represents an existential threat that is just as dangerous as an American aircraft carrier, as it targets the one thing the regime cannot fully control: the digital connectivity of its youth.
