American intelligence officials are sounding the alarm after intercepting a mysterious encrypted transmission believed to have originated from inside Iran, raising fears that sleeper operatives scattered across foreign countries could soon be activated.
According to a report first highlighted by ABC News, analysts discovered what investigators described as a potential “operational trigger” message intended for covert operatives living quietly abroad.
