Summary

Explore the dark psychological architecture behind state-sponsored terror as we profile the operatives recruited into Iran’s Quds Force. This episode examines the complex intersection of ideological radicalization, coercive control, and the compartmentalized mindsets required to execute cross-border assassinations. By analyzing the behavioral patterns of captured cells, we decode how sovereign nations psychologically weaponize proxies to project deniable power globally.
