Foreign agents refer to individuals who work on behalf of or under the control of a foreign government, political party, or organization, often tasked with gathering intelligence, providing resources and support, or influencing policies in the host country. There are several synonyms for the term "foreign agents," including spies, operatives, moles, informants, double agents, assets, collaborators, infiltrators, and proxies. These terms describe the same set of activities and purpose, but with different implications in their context. The use of these synonyms may depend on the level of infiltration, the political motive, or the nature of the relationship between the foreign entity and the local agent.
