Washington Multiplies Spy Budget Against Iran
WANA (Oct 08) – In the U.S. Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, two specific clauses have been introduced targeting Iran, mandating the American intelligence community to monitor not only Iran’s nuclear activities but even its “potential decisions” regarding its nuclear program.
The bill expands the powers of U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct espionage in Iran’s nuclear, missile, and regional affairs, while also assigning the FBI a new mission to establish a dedicated “Iran Task Force.”
Senate Committee Approves Draft Intelligence Budget
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has reportedly reviewed the draft of the 2026 intelligence budget bill in a classified session before sending it to the Senate floor for final approval.
The bill, officially registered as S.2342, outlines the financial, operational, and policy framework for the U.S. intelligence community in the coming fiscal year. This includes agencies such as the CIA, NSA, DIA, and FBI.

According to the document, the total budget for the National Intelligence Program (NIP) is set at $81.9 billion, while the Military Intelligence Program (MIP) is allocated $33.6 billion. These figures are separate from the Pentagon’s nearly $1 trillion defense budget and form the backbone of Washington’s global intelligence and espionage operations for the next fiscal year.
Two Clauses Specifically Targeting Iran
Section 534 – Expanded Oversight of Iran’s Uranium Enrichment
This clause amends the 2024 Intelligence Authorization Act to broaden the scope of surveillance over Iran’s nuclear activities. The revised text requires the U.S. intelligence community to collect and report to Congress on any “findings” related to Iran — from uranium enrichment above 60% purity to potential decisions regarding the production of nuclear weapons.
The clause notably expands reporting obligations beyond Iran’s actual actions to include its anticipated intentions. Legal experts in Washington interpret this as a formal extension of intelligence authority, effectively legitimizing speculative intelligence assessments about Iran.
Why Are Israelis Willing to Cooperate and Spy for Iran?
WANA (Sep 30) – One of the main security dilemmas of the Israeli regime at present is the widespread tendency of residents of the occupied Palestine to carry out anti-security actions against this regime, a matter which Hebrew-language experts have warned about. While the security services of the Israeli regime claim significant penetration in […]
Furthermore, the ambiguous phrase “significant enrichment activity” grants agencies broad interpretive leeway, effectively serving as a legal green light for intensified technical and human intelligence (HUMINT) operations targeting Iran’s nuclear program.
Section 535 – Mandatory Threat Alerts to U.S. Citizens on “Iranian or Proxy Threats”
For the first time, the U.S. Congress has mandated that the intelligence community must immediately alert the FBI if it receives credible information regarding an imminent threat against any U.S. citizen by Iran or its so-called proxy groups.
Under this section, the FBI must notify the targeted individual within 48 hours and simultaneously brief the congressional oversight committees.
The law explicitly defines Iran’s proxies as Hezbollah (Lebanon), Ansarallah (Yemen), Hamas (Palestine), and various Shia groups in Iraq and Syria.
$7000 Per Post: Israel’s Whitewashing Project with Americans
WANA (Oct 02) – Newly released documents reveal that the Israeli government has been paying American influencers up to $7,000 for each supportive post on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, in an effort to counter declining public support in the United States. According to reports, the documents—filed under the Foreign Agents […]
Analysts view this measure as paving the way for the establishment of an FBI “Iran Task Force” and expanded domestic surveillance authority over Iran-linked individuals and activities inside the United States. Technically, the clause also justifies increased monitoring of Iranian-related economic, cultural, and social interactions under the pretext of preventing potential threats.
Taken together, these new clauses underscore Washington’s intent to widen its intelligence focus and operational reach against Iran. While the legal language — using terms like “finding” and “imminent threat” — may appear procedural, in practice it legitimizes expanded information-gathering, electronic surveillance, and covert operations against Iran and its regional allies.
Although the 2026 Intelligence Budget Bill appears to be a financial instrument, it effectively outlines an operational roadmap for intensifying the U.S. intelligence war against Iran. Beyond the numbers, it reveals a deeper strategic posture — one that favors monitoring, pressure, and containment over dialogue or diplomacy.
