You didn’t refute anything I posted. Yes mossad has recruited dissidents and whoever that can pass.

You’re saying no American Jew that can pass as a local is not an asset of the CIA in Iran ? That’s foolish.


I made no such claim. So it is totally irrelevant to my argument.

The argument I’m making is that the U.S. has long lacked a robust, institutional HUMINT capability in Iran, especially compared to Israel. With that said, I am not claiming that it’s theoretically impossible for the CIA to have isolated intelligence assets in Iran.

I certainly agree this has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I genuinely have no clue what the hell you are even discussing here.

As for my argument, I cited an article discussing the real world constraints the U.S. faces in gathering intelligence in Iran while you responded with irrelevant musings on ethnicity and Jews passing as Iranians. In essence, your counterargument is “trust me bro, they must be there…”

Unlike your stated conjecture, it is a widely held opinion by many intelligence analysts that the United States long has lacked human intelligence assets in Iran. So your response was not a refutation; it’s steaming pile of speculation garnished with non sequiturs, irrelevancies and ad hominem attacks.

You frickstick. See how that works?

Again — if it makes you feel better — I certainly grant that it is theoretically possible the CIA might have some “above average” intelligent Jews “passing” as Iranians.
