Pretty boring stuff. There is some Persian writing above the text in EMAIL B variants, so maybe that is interesting. I do not see any interesting English-text content.
- anigbrowl 15y agoIt is boring in one sense, but in another way that is what makes it exciting. you and I have little or no use for this information, but it's great from an intelligence standpoint. I'm not entirely sure about the provenance. I've often wondered if western governments use anon as a deniable vector for track II diplomacy. Either way, interesting.
- kposehn 15y agoHmm, that is a good point there. I'm not so sure this intel is that useful all around outside tracking people that applied for Iranian visas. That said, I haven't perused these emails and I don't plan to. There could easily be other patterns here worth going over.
