Mossad Appeals Directly to Iranians During Strikes, Seeking Footage and Support to 'Restore Glory'

During Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, Mossad used its Persian Telegram channel to call on Iranian citizens for photos and videos to support operations and help "restore" Iran's former glory. The public appeal merges open‑source intelligence gathering with information operations, raising risks for contributors and increasing the likelihood of Iranian countermeasures and domestic crackdowns.
