"Contact us," Mossad intensifies efforts to recruit Iranians against

"The time has come to act", "a short conversation can open a new chapter for you. "Contact us via a secure line", with these messages, in the midst of the war with Iran, Mossad is intensifying efforts on social networks to reach the Iranian population and recruit against the Islamic Republic.

While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls on Iranians to “take their fate into their own hands” and rise up, a more discreet campaign has been taking place online for months. A channel of the Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence service, was secretly opened on the Telegram platform in late December.

A link to this channel appears on the official Mossad website, confirming its authenticity, alongside links to recruitment accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn in Hebrew, English, and Arabic.

“Reports from the field”

A Persian-language account was opened on December 24 on Telegram, four days before the outbreak of mass protests across Iran. A message posted at the top of the channel reads: “ Welcome! If you have reached this far, you probably want to get in touch with us. We are pleased.” The message is followed by detailed instructions on how to contact the Institute (“Mossad” in Hebrew) securely, via a chat agent or its official website.

On March 6, the channel, which has about 48,000 subscribers, published a message encouraging Iranians to send in information from inside the country. “Continue sending your reports from the ground. You are the witnesses of the truth. We will persist until victory!”

On X, a new account appeared in early March, under the name “Mossad Official,” after the start of the Israeli-American bombing campaign on February 28. It too adds to the incitement, supported by engaging videos created with artificial intelligence.

One shows Basij militants looking up at the sky, fearful of a possible attack, beneath a caption promising that these Islamist militias “will not be able to hide for long.” Another shows a man surreptitiously taking pictures out of a window with his phone.

Account in X in Persian

“Mossad has been carrying out these types of operations for decades, depending on the tools and technologies available,” explains Yossi Melman, an Israeli journalist specializing in defense and intelligence issues. “Like other foreign services, the agency has funded publications and radio stations in hostile countries,” he tells AFP. “Mossad did not reinvent the wheel. The CIA has been doing this for years.”

Six months before the official Telegram channel was launched, another account, called “Mossad Farsi,” appeared on X. It posted its first message on June 25, shortly after the twelve-day war between Israel and Iran. Today, it has over 60,000 followers. The first posts were a series of videos by Menashe Amir, a well-known Israeli radio host born in Tehran who has been addressing Iranians in Persian for more than six decades.

Amir confirmed to AFP that the account was indeed managed by the intelligence agency, even though it does not appear on the list published Tuesday by Mossad.

"Make Iran great again"

"The first (video) message they posted with me was viewed 2,200,000 times," he comments proudly. The account has not been verified by authorities, but Israeli media consider it official.

"Mossad Farsi" has published a series of sarcastic criticisms of Iranian leaders, but also diverse content: an offer for telemedical consultations for Iranians; a sequence of cryptic digits; a poll asking who should lead Iran to solve the chronic water crisis; or a video promising to ' Make Iran great again' , the Mossad version of Donald Trump's famous slogan.

The tone became harsher when mass protests erupted in Iran in late December 2025, violently suppressed.

“Come out into the streets together. The time has come. We are with you.” “Not just from afar or in words. We are with you on the ground ,” one of these messages said.

On Tuesday, hours after Israel assassinated Ali Larijani, one of Iran's top leaders and commander of the Basij, the account briefly commented: " Cruel people end up dying."
