Show Notes
With a CNN news crew making a historic entry into Tehran, the line between journalism and counter-intelligence has never been thinner. This episode breaks down the "gray zone" of access, exploring how reporters use air-gapped hardware and "managed transparency" to operate under the watchful eye of the IRGC. From the life-or-death risks faced by local fixers to the technical "Evil Maid" attacks in hotel rooms, we pull back the curtain on the invisible war for information in the world's most dangerous assignments.
