Award-winning journalist Lara Logan has revealed a chilling intelligence picture: Iranian operatives are actively infiltrating the United States, aided by a network of ruthless drug cartels. This isn’t a distant threat, but a present danger to national security, meticulously detailed in her latest podcast episode, Going Rogue.
The alarming revelations stem from intercepted, high-level encrypted communications believed to originate from Iran. Intelligence officials aren’t dismissing these transmissions as mere chatter; they interpret them as an “operational trigger” – a signal to activate “sleeper assets” already positioned within the country.
For years, Iran has openly threatened to deploy sleeper cells within the U.S. should they feel provoked. This terrifying possibility has been dramatically amplified by the unprecedented influx of unvetted individuals crossing the southern border in recent years, creating a dangerous vulnerability.
Logan’s investigation features a compelling interview with Keith Rose, a veteran intelligence operative known within elite circles as “Captain America.” Rose brings nearly three decades of experience from global hotspots – Afghanistan, Pakistan, Africa, and across Central and South America – to bear on this critical issue.
Rose explained the insidious strategy employed by Iran’s notorious Quds Force, exploiting vulnerabilities at the border to embed subversive actors within the American homeland. He detailed a complex operation designed to bypass traditional security measures.
Surprisingly, the largest Iranian embassy in the world isn’t located in a major trading partner, but in Mexico City. Rose’s sources indicate this embassy isn’t focused on trade, but on coordinating with cartels and the Iranian consulate in New York City to facilitate the entry of these operatives.
Prior to the current administration, Rose alleges, Iranian Quds Force operatives linked to the Takavar division were entering Latin America through Nicaragua. From there, they were transported through Mexico, ultimately crossing the border into the United States with the assistance of powerful cartels.
The operatives were reportedly arriving in Bluefields, Nicaragua, before being moved north into Mexico. The cartels then facilitated their illegal entry into the U.S., effectively turning the border into a conduit for potential threats.
Rose’s insights paint a disturbing picture of a calculated and ongoing operation, highlighting the lengths to which Iran is willing to go to establish a presence within the United States. The implications for national security are profound and demand immediate attention.
