Operation Rubikon

(August 27, 2020)

Jahrzehntelang belauschten BND und CIA die verschlüsselte Kommunikation von über 100 Staaten. Die Operation „Rubikon“ wurde bis heute geheim gehalten. Sie gilt als größter Erfolg des BND.

Opfer des Lauschangriffs waren arabische und südamerikanische Länder, aber auch NATO-Partner. Sie vertrauten der Krypto-Technik eines schweizerischen Herstellers – und wurden betrogen. Welche politischen Folgen hatte das jahrelange Mitlesen geheimer Nachrichten?

Politische Handlungen durch Rubikon

Die „Rubikon“-Papiere belegen erstmals, dass BND und CIA zum Beispiel frühzeitig über den Sturz des chilenischen Präsidenten Allende 1973 und die schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen durch die argentinische Militärjunta informiert waren. Politische Folgen, etwa in Form von Protesten der Bundesregierung, hatte das nicht.

Auch im Falklandkrieg kamen die für den Sieg der Briten notwendigen Informationen aus der Operation „Rubikon“: Der BND konnte den militärischen Funkverkehr der Argentinier entschlüsseln. Das britische Militär war so über die Bewegungen der argentinischen Streitkräfte informiert. Einer der klar belegbaren Fälle, in denen „Rubikon“ konkrete – und blutige – Konsequenzen hatte.

Kühn und skandalträchtig

Einer der größten Abnehmer für die manipulierten schweizerischen Verschlüsselungsgeräte war der Iran. Jahrzehntelang waren Deutsche und Amerikaner deshalb bestens über die geheimen Regierungskommunikationen des Ajatollah-Regimes informiert und nutzten diese Kenntnisse zum Beispiel in der Geiselaffäre, um die US-Botschaftsangehörigen freizubekommen.

Geheimdienstexperte Prof. Richard Aldrich wertete die dem ZDF exklusiv vorliegenden geheimen Akten aus. Sein Fazit: „Die Operation Rubikon war eine der kühnsten und auch skandalträchtigsten Operationen, denn über hundert Staaten zahlten Milliarden Dollar dafür, dass ihnen ihre Staatsgeheimnisse gestohlen wurden.“

Der Dokumentation liegen langjährige Recherchen von ZDFinfo, „Frontal 21“, der „Washington Post“ und der „Rundschau“ des Schweizer Fernsehens SRG zugrunde.

Cryptoleaks – Wie CIA und BND mit Schweizer Hilfe weltweit spionierten | Doku | SRF Dok

(Februar 13, 2020)

Die CIA und der BND spionierten mit manipulierten Chiffriergeräten der Schweizer Firma Crypto AG jahrzehntelang mehr als 100 Staaten aus, darunter auch befreundete Länder. Dies belegen Recherchen von SRF Rundschau, ZDF und Washington Post.

m Zentrum steht ein Aktenordner mit explosivem Inhalt: 280 Seiten, bisher unbekannte Papiere der Geheimdienste CIA und BND. Sie belegen eine weltweite Geheimdienstoperation. Die geleakten Papiere werfen ein höchst fragwürdiges Licht auf die Schweiz und auf das Zuger Unternehmen Crypto AG, eine Firma für Verschlüsselungstechnik.

Über manipulierte Chiffriermaschinen der ehemaligen Verschlüsselungsfirma horchten die Geheimdienste CIA und BND jahrzehntelang über hundert Staaten ab. Im Nahen Osten, in Asien, in Südamerika und auch in Europa wurde die geheime Kommunikation befreundeter und feindlicher Staaten abgefangen und ausgewertet. Alle abgehörten Länder hatten ihre Crypto-Chiffriermaschinen im guten Glauben in der neutralen Schweiz gekauft.

Welche Folgen hatte die Überwachungsoperation auf die internationale Politik der Nachkriegszeit? Wie gingen die Geheimdienstleute der CIA und des BND vor? Wie wurden die Schweizer Chiffriergeräte manipuliert? Was wussten die Schweizer Behörden? Und was bedeutet dieser Skandal für die Schweizer Neutralität?

Operation Rubicon: How the CIA and BND Spied on the World

(August 2, 2025)

Operation Rubicon was a joint covert operation carried out by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the West German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) during the Cold War. The operation involved the acquisition and operation of a Swiss company called Crypto AG, which was a leading manufacturer of encryption machines used by governments, militaries, and intelligence agencies around the world.

Under Operation Rubicon, the CIA and BND secretly purchased Crypto AG and then modified the encryption machines to allow the intelligence agencies to eavesdrop on the communications of foreign governments and intelligence services that used the machines. The operation reportedly began in the 1950s and continued until the early 2000s.

The operation was considered one of the most successful and longest-running espionage operations of the Cold War, allowing the CIA and BND to intercept and decipher sensitive communications from numerous countries, including Iran, Argentina, and Libya. However, the operation was eventually exposed in 2020 through investigative reporting by several news organizations, leading to widespread criticism of the intelligence agencies involved and calls for greater transparency and accountability in intelligence operations.

Starlink Has Privatized Geopolitics

(March 20, 2026)

Starlink is far more than a commercial connectivity service. It is strategic infrastructure that increasingly shapes how wars are fought, how states manage internal unrest, and how criminal networks operate in ungoverned spaces. What makes Starlink so politically consequential is not just its globe-spanning reach but also the governance model behind it.

A private company is now a gatekeeper in orbit, helping decide who connects as well as where, under what conditions, and with what technical constraints. In a growing number of conflicts, these decisions carry military and political effects that states struggle to replicate or control. If many strategic supply chains now depend on private firms, Starlink is an unusually concentrated case of private discretion over public security functions.

Trump’s abrupt U-turn on a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz came after backlash from allies

(May 6, 2026)

Trump surprised Gulf allies by announcing “Project Freedom” on social media Sunday afternoon, the officials said, angering leadership in Saudi Arabia. In response, the Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase southeast of Riyadh or fly through Saudi airspace to support the effort, the officials said.

A call between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not resolve the issue, the two U.S. officials said, forcing the president to pause Project Freedom in order to restore U.S. military access to the critical airspace.
