CIA’s new Farsi outreach sparks Iran protest as Geneva nuclear talks loom

Published on Feb 26, 2026 09:14 am IST

Iran has sharply criticized the Central Intelligence Agency after it released a Farsi-language video on X urging Iranians to make secure contact and share information. The Iranian Embassy in The Hague accused Washington of “open interference,” saying the outreach crossed diplomatic lines. The message comes amid escalating tensions between United States and Tehran ahead of indirect nuclear talks in Geneva. With military assets repositioned across the region and President Donald Trump warning that force remains an option, the social media clash signals an intensifying intelligence and information war between the two adversaries.
