  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nIran's intelligence ministry said on Wednesday that the United States and Israel still aim to overthrow the Islamic republic and break up the country. The warning follows the war that began on February 28 and drew in much of the Middle East. Tehran and Washington are currently exchanging proposals for an agreement to end the conflict.\n\n#### What does Iran say the U.S. and Israel are trying to achieve?\n\nIran says the U.S. and Israel are pursuing the overthrow and partition of the Islamic republic through non-military means, having failed to achieve it by force. The ministry said the enemy \"openly declared\" this objective at the start of the recent war. It is now being pursued through economic pressure, internal divisions, and covert operations.\n\nThe ministry said it received intelligence that Washington and Tel Aviv would seek to intensify economic pressure on Iran. They would also attempt to create divisions among the country's religious and ethnic communities. Sabotage and other \"terrorist operations\" were identified as additional tools of pressure.\n\n#### What smuggling activity is Iran warning about?\n\nThe ministry said such operations would involve large-scale smuggling of weapons, ammunition, and illegal communications equipment. Starlink devices, which allow satellite internet access, were specifically named as a target for smuggling. Iran has previously restricted satellite internet access as part of broader controls on information flow.\n\n#### How did the Iran-Israel conflict escalate to open war?\n\nFor decades, Iran and Israel conducted a shadow war involving sabotage of nuclear facilities and the assassination of scientists. That period of covert hostilities gave way to sporadic tit-for-tat strikes in 2024, which stopped short of open warfare. The 2026 conflict marked the first sustained direct war between the two long-time adversaries.\n\nIran does not recognize Israel and has maintained no diplomatic relations with the United States since 1980. The current war represents a sharp escalation from decades of indirect confrontation. Negotiations to end the conflict are ongoing, though Iran's intelligence ministry signaled deep skepticism about U.S. intentions.",
