Iranian intelligence is reportedly conducting surveillance on opposition activists in Germany, leveraging family members and using WhatsApp to recruit informants. The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and other agencies are monitoring protests to identify opposition figures. Exiled Iranians, like Hossein Yaghobi, have faced threats and coercion, with their families being used as hostages. The Iranian regime is described as being in a fight for survival, extending its reach beyond borders, and the security situation in Germany is deemed serious due to these activities.
