A CIA-led 10-year effort to cut Afghan opium production had limited success due to persistent drug trade and instability.
A CIA-led, decade-long covert operation aimed to reduce Afghanistan’s opium production, a key Taliban funding source, using surveillance, drone strikes, and alternative livelihood programs.

The effort was part of broader U.S. counterinsurgency strategy but remains debated in terms of effectiveness.
