00:30Profiles spent months building up credibility with local audiences

00:33before shifting narratives when the US and Israel's offensive against Iran escalated in late February.

00:40After the war started, they completely pivoted to posting pro-Iran footage of Iranian strikes

00:48on enemies of Iran, so Israel and other places, I think maybe Saudi Arabia as well.

00:56The content included posts glorifying the deceased Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,

01:01as well as AI-generated images claiming to show the destruction of US bases in the Middle East.

01:07Researchers found that these accounts were affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,

01:12an elite paramilitary unit which has been accused of peddling foreign influence operations.

01:18Two subsets of accounts were uncovered,

01:20one group claiming to be from Scotland and England,

01:22and another from Ireland and Northern Ireland.

01:25Spanish-language profiles claiming to be based in Texas, California, Venezuela and Chile

01:30carried out a similar operation, according to researchers.

01:34Many of the profiles claim to be women,

01:36but in reality used stolen or AI-generated images as a ruse.

01:40Europol, the EU's law enforcement agency,

01:43says it shut down thousands of IRGC-affiliated accounts

01:47across 19 countries between February and April.
