Mossad Recruits Iranians via Social Media to Undermine Regime

The Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, has intensified its efforts on social media to recruit Iranians opposed to the Iranian regime, amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. The Mossad has created channels on platforms such as Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, offering secure ways to communicate and encouraging Iranians to provide information. These campaigns include videos and messages aimed at undermining the Iranian regime and supporting rebellion. The Mossad has employed similar tactics for decades, adapting its methods to available technologies. This move comes during a period of increased regional instability, with Netanyahu calling on Iranians to take their fate into their own hands.
