The Iranian government has launched a coordinated online disinformation campaign targeting Mora Namdar, a senior Persian-American official in the Trump administration. Posing as anti-regime activists, state-backed accounts have accused Namdar of being a regime sympathizer and undermining Iranian dissidents, aiming to sow discord within both the United States government and the Iranian opposition community. The campaign has spread across multiple social media platforms, using networks of fake accounts and bots to amplify false claims and personal attacks, including threats against Namdar's family. Despite efforts to expose the operation, the propaganda has gained traction among some legitimate opposition figures, highlighting the regime's success in creating confusion and division among its critics.
