Washington Looks to Seize Soldiers' Phones in Middle East

Reports indicate that the U.S. Central Command is considering imposing restrictions on the use of mobile phones by its soldiers in the Middle East, aiming to prevent Iran from exploiting the photos and videos they post to track the success of their strikes or locate U.S. bases. The commander of the operation, Admiral Brad Cooper, stated that any confiscation of phones would increase the complexity of the conflict, especially since many soldiers rely on their devices to communicate with their families and reassure them about their conditions. The message warns that intelligence gathered from open sources, such as posts and images, could endanger soldiers’ lives, particularly as Iran enhances its surveillance capabilities and directs strikes against the United States. Some soldiers in Jordan, which has experienced repeated Iranian attacks, have been informed that their phones will soon be confiscated in an effort to boost the security of military operations.
