00:02Europol has taken down thousands of online posts, accounts, and links tied to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including its
00:10main ex-account.
00:11The agency was able to do so as the EU formally designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization in February.
00:19This gave law enforcement the legal basis to move against its online infrastructure.
00:25Investigators said the IRGC had built a highly structured digital network spanning major social media platforms, streaming services, blog hosting
00:34sites, and independent websites.
00:36The content, which was distributed in numerous languages, included political messaging intertwined with religious martyrdom narratives.
00:44Also, AI-generated videos were widely distributed, including videos praising the IRGC and calling for retaliation in the name of
00:53Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
00:56Further details on the methods and tactics uncovered are expected to appear in Europol's upcoming EU terrorism situation and trend
01:04report.
