The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has posted on social media new Farsi-language instructions for Iranians wishing to securely contact the spy service.

The CIA recruitment effort comes amid a massive buildup of U.S. military forces in the Middle East that President Donald Trump could order to attack Iran if talks with the U.S. set for Thursday fail to reach a deal on Tehran's nuclear program.

Trump began laying out the case for a possible U.S. operation in his State of the Union speech on Tuesday, saying he would not allow the Islamic Republic, which he called the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism, to have a nuclear weapon. Iran denies seeking a nuclear arsenal.
