Of course not, and I do believe you. Yup, it's absolutely ridiculous what crazy methods the CIA will try in order to get some informations. Seems like they still attempt to overcome their lack of human sources by deploying the most exotic eavesdropping gadgets instead. James Bond must be so envious... :D “in a hilarious twist, Iranian authorities have detained four squirrels who they accused of being fitted with espionage devices (I’m not kidding.)”

Ahmadinejad’s government has justified this wave of repression by alleging that the country is under siege from internal and external enemies.

If Telegraph and ABC are to be believed, then the U.S. has been funding terrorism inside of Iran for some time now.
