The IR is on the verge of collapse, and nothing can be done to save this.
The Ministry of Intelligence no longer exists in practice. The country is open to espionage.
I blame it on the IRGC. The IRGC opened Iran for espionage or even the most basic intelligence operations. Ever since the establishment of an independent intelligence organization by the IRGC, we have become so vulnerable that it is like we no longer can conduct even basic counter-intelligence measures.
I was watching the confessions of the Israeli spy that was executed yesterday (Roozbeh Vadi). He says he was employed by the Israeli intelligence system through WhatsApp and he communicated with them via Gmail. Then he met his officer in Vienna. He shared sensitive information about Iran's enrichment activities and the personnel of the Iranian atomic agency with them.
Here are a few points:
1. Why should an employee of the Iranian atomic agency, a highly-sensitive organization, visit Vienna? There used to be strong travel restrictions for people working in sensitive roles.
2. Why is Iranian intelligence service not running counter-intelligence campaigns and honeypots? Why can an employee of the Iranian Atomic Agency trust such a link, knowing full-well that it's not a trap? It's obviously because they're sure of the legitimacy of these advertisements.
3. Why are our employees working in sensitive roles so underpaid that they would sell their country for a few thousand dollars?
To put things into perspective, there used to be a time that our Ministry of Intelligence was so strong that even Iranian dissidents living abroad were afraid of criticizing the Islamic Republic. Ordinary citizens living abroad felt under surveillance all the time and decided not to make a single political comment.
The name of "Ministry of Intelligence" sent shivers down the spine of the Iranian opposition. They were always looking over their shoulders not to be hunted down by the Ministry of Intelligence because it had happened before. Many opposition figures had been assassinated and kidnapped in Europe and North America. Now, even people inside Iran are no longer afraid of the Ministry of Intelligence because everyone thinks they're incompetent and can do nothing against modern technologies.
The Islamic Republic is done. It's over for them. They will fall soon, extremely likely to fall in less than 5 years. And Iran will enter chaos if Iranian patriots don't do something about it.
