International espionage

International espionage involves secret activities conducted by a nation's intelligence agencies to gather information about other countries’ governments, military capabilities, and strategic plans. It typically includes surveillance, covert operations, and data collection to gain an advantage or ensure national security. Espionage can involve human spies, electronic hacking, or covert infiltration. While often unseen and legally ambiguous, it plays a significant role in international relations, diplomacy, and defense. The goal is to obtain critical intelligence without revealing the source, helping governments make informed decisions and maintain security interests globally.
