Numbers stations, as they’re known, have been used by intelligence services since World War I to communicate with agents in the field, but have become increasingly rare in the digital age. With the Internet shut down by authorities in Iran, this Cold War relic has found new life. According to one group of aficionados that tracks these age-old spy tools, it’s the first new numbers station in years.
it’s in Farsi because it’s for people within Iran, or at least the ham people I saw talking about this last week had suggested
why would Iranians broadcast their uber secret codes in Farsi lol
Those are one time codes. Virtually unbreakable if implemented correctly.
Same reason the US uses English, the Russians use Russian, etc. language doesn’t matter really.
