    Do you even have examples of Iranian disinformation, or assume you would find some if you bothered to do research instead of bugging people who know more than you? Not a rhetorical question. I have one specific example but it’s a diplomatic thing related to Yemen and Syria, and it’s arguably Europe’s fault.

    The buried assumption here is that blatant CENTCOM-style (Goebbels brain) disinformation is always a good strategy. The Iranians do not see it that way. Hell, many CIA assets deploy more effective tools, through cooptation, and the drunken antics of the neocons have disrupted their ops throughout the past decades as their zeal overrides the mission of full-spectrum dominance.

      You’re speaking of a country that blocked internet access for the whole population multiple times, it’s clear that information is strictly controlled. This is a huge overarching example ;)

        You could have answered “no”, and “I don’t even intend to try, it’s too hard 🥀”. The US has extensively used cyberwarfare + SIM network & internet in general not just for surveillance, targeting, and espionage, but drone and pre-positioned ATGM attacks. If they were smart, their internet would be Chinese style all the time. At least idiots like yourself will be barred temporarily—if you were somehow capable of communicating with them despite your limiting background. Unfortunately, it’s not for censorship, which doesn’t even imply disinformation. If you bothered to investigate US doctine you would know they openly state their intention to spread lies. Censoring Project Mockingbird is good, actually.

        ;) <- you wish you felt smug anime face, don’t you? but you would need to actually know something to feel smug like I do, give it a try. Learn something, anything at all.

          You’re for sure entertaining :D

          Did I say anything good about US and west information? You see the world in black and white, deciding I’m a paladin for shitty America. To your detriment, you clearly overestimate your intellect.

            There is more to life than entertainment, & that is where it comes from in the first place! Use your brain! You clearly missed the point I made about the relationship between western control of transnational communication monopolies, its disinfo + covert strategies, & its “internet freedom” ethos.

            Iran recruits people like me by building credibility, not just fighting for a better future. Telling the truth has more utility than Reddit bullshit, Terrorgram, and Bloomberg News. You can’t see that.
