CIA sends secret messages to Iranian dissidents via Persian-language video and encrypted tools

The CIA has released a Persian-language video urging Iranian dissidents to use burner phones and Tor to securely contact US authorities amid renewed anti-government protests in Iran. The agency aims to facilitate communication between Iranians seeking information on human rights abuses and US officials. The move comes as anti-government protests intensify in the country, with security forces cracking down on dissent.
