Clint, Thank you for this analysis into Iranian cyber disinformation. I try to limit my social media intake and stick with trusted sources of news, but I often wonder how I might be receiving misinformation. For instance, this week, I’m sure mainstream media will be focused on the Sept. 18 rally for Jan. 6 participants. Cyber disinformation agents will inundate the right with messages that these rioters are patriots, the left will be instilled with fear. After a weekend of reflection on where our country has headed in the 20 years since 9/11, it’s hard to imagine how this country could come together. It seems so broken.

Thank you for this snapshot of the Iranian disinfo landscape! I'd be curious to see what their capabilities are following the DOJ seizures of many prominent websites including American Herald Tribune and PressTV.com (now PressTV.ir). Have we seen them rebuild new websites or have they taken a blow to their capabilities.
