Iran social media strategy pivots to information war amid US-Israel attack

Cyber experts say influence operations in ‘asymmetric’ campaign to intensify moral pressure on US and Israel

Iran has radically overhauled its social media strategy in an all-out information war launched by the country’s Islamic rulers in response to US and Israeli military attacks.

Cyber experts say Iranian foreign influence operations have gone into overdrive as part of an “asymmetric” campaign designed to complement its military retaliation and intensify moral pressure on the US and Israel into curtailing their war efforts.
