The media and the political machine are desperate to try and get WW3 with Iran going to save themselves from the mess they created with Ukraine. Even while Iran has been doing everything but actually get it going with them constantly talking big and then backing away the next day. This has been the way since at least Israel trying to expand the war into Lebanon after Gaza didn’t become promising.

They know that Iran won’t do shit so the only option now to get that long awaited war with the “axis of evil” is to use the same fake news propaganda that was used with other countries we have to hate because the State Department said so. The most common one is the lie that these countries are trying to rig our elections with now Microsoft claiming that Iran is running a campaign to trick voters with the usual claims when this whole psyop is done.

NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) — Iran is accelerating online activity that appears intended to influence the U.S. election, in one case targeting a presidential campaign with an email phishing attack, Microsoft said Friday.

Iranian actors also have spent recent months creating fake news sites and impersonating activists, laying the groundwork to stoke division and potentially sway American voters this fall, especially in swing states, the technology giant found.

The findings in Microsoft’s newest threat intelligence report show how Iran, which has been active in recent U.S. elections, is evolving its tactics for another election that’s likely to have global implications. The report goes a step beyond anything U.S. intelligence officials have disclosed, giving specific examples of Iranian groups and the actions they have taken so far. Iran’s United Nations mission denied it had plans to interfere or launch cyberattacks in the U.S. presidential election.

This whole thing goes with the conspiracy that Iran was behind Trump’s assassination because of this one Pakistani man who wanted to pay a hitman.

The report doesn’t specify Iran’s intentions besides sowing chaos in the United States, though U.S. officials have previously hinted that Iran particularly opposes former President Donald Trump. U.S. officials also have expressed alarm about Tehran’s efforts to seek retaliation for a 2020 strike on an Iranian general that was ordered by Trump. This week, the Justice Department unsealed criminal charges against a Pakistani man with ties to Iran who’s alleged to have hatched assassination plots targeting multiple officials, potentially including Trump.

Facebook and Big Tech can sway voters in elections with clear proof and they won’t even be investigated. Meanwhile these constant disproven claims with Iran, Russia, and China is instantly dealt with and made with calls for war with them.

They are even adding both China and Russia to this just because.

The report also reveals how Russia and China are exploiting U.S. political polarization to advance their own divisive messaging in a consequential election year.

So what is the smoking gun this time hey i even be proven wrong and that these axis of evil states are trying to elect le bad chicom demopoop. Well the smoking gun from Microsoft is that one of the Revolutionary guardsman hacked into an email. And the rest is the claim that they are spreading misinformation on both sides (which is always accused in these x country election interferences.)

Microsoft’s report identified four examples of recent Iranian activity that the company expects to increase as November’s election draws closer.

First, a group linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in June targeted a high-ranking U.S. presidential campaign official with a phishing email, a form of cyberattack often used to gather sensitive information, according to the report, which didn’t identify which campaign was targeted. The group concealed the email’s origins by sending it from the hacked email account of a former senior adviser, Microsoft said.

Days later, the Iranian group tried to log into an account that belonged to a former presidential candidate, but wasn’t successful, Microsoft’s report said. The company notified those who were targeted.

In a separate example, an Iranian group has been creating websites that pose as U.S.-based news sites targeted to voters on opposite sides of the political spectrum, the report said.

One fake news site that lends itself to a left-leaning audience insults Trump by calling him “raving mad” and suggests he uses drugs, the report said. Another site meant to appeal to Republican readers centers on LGBTQ issues and gender-affirming surgery.

A third example Microsoft cited found that Iranian groups are impersonating U.S. activists, potentially laying the groundwork for influence operations closer to the election.

Finally, another Iranian group in May compromised an account owned by a government employee in a swing state, the report said. It was unclear whether that cyberattack was related to election interference efforts.

Russia meanwhile is using Microsoft’s own AI program to create AI art in a way to sway American voters according the company themselves. They know its happening they conveniently cannot stop it no matter what.

Microsoft said it has continued to monitor how foreign foes are using generative AI technology. The increasingly cheap and easy-to-access tools can generate lifelike fake images, photos and videos in seconds, prompting concern among some experts that they will be weaponized to mislead voters this election cycle.

While many countries have experimented with AI in their influence operations, the company said, those efforts haven’t had much impact so far. The report said as a result, some actors have “pivoted back to techniques that have proven effective in the past — simple digital manipulations, mischaracterization of content, and use of trusted labels or logos atop false information.”

Microsoft’s report aligns with recent warnings from U.S. intelligence officials, who say America’s adversaries appear determined to seed the internet with false and incendiary claims ahead of November’s vote.

This whole thing will and always will be fake. Sure stuff like the 50 cent army, Russian trolls, etc exist, but their reach is small and if people got convinced by them to vote for someone else its their fault not the troll campaign itself.

They want this story to give a greenlight to a war with Iran and the other countries we are hostile to. They aren’t getting it through Israel now they are going to lie and make up shit in order for it to happen.

Get ready since when November 5th happens this is going to resurge and prepare the next president to order more intervention against Iran.
