What if the hikers are actually undercover cia?


What could 3 English speaking very American looking young men possibly provide the CIA? Even if they spoke Farsi, it would be clear they weren't Iranian.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the CIA to use Iranians? There's plenty of disaffected Iranians who would be more than happy to provide info to the CIA and in a better position to do so.

Let's say they are with the CIA and have special skills. Surely the CIA has operatives within the country that could meet and escort them wherever.

What a ruse for the CIA to pull. Recruit 3 stary eyed UC Berkeley students to wander around and cross the border into Iran to gather intelligence. Those dumb Iranians would never suspect that someone from UC Berkeley could be a spy.

I still want to know if the woman was wearing a head scarf.
