Manufacturing dissent: How Israel manipulates Iran’s Twittersphere
——
A new independent investigation by Social Forensics, funded by the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), has exposed an extensive Israeli government-linked network of fake Twitter accounts built to dominate Persian-language discourse and amplify anti-Iran narratives after the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini.

The report analyzed 1.5 million tweets from 213,000 accounts, uncovering a web of coordinated inauthentic behavior designed to manipulate perceptions of Iran and flood social media with anti-government sentiment.

The data shows that nearly half the accounts were created in 2021–2022, and a quarter appeared after Amini’s death, suggesting state-backed mass production of bot accounts. Many featured crown emojis and Reza Pahlavi slogans, posing as monarchist supporters to fabricate the illusion of a massive anti-regime movement.

According to the investigation, 95% of these “monarchist” accounts were fake, used to push hashtags, distort public opinion, and target Iranian diaspora figures who advocate diplomacy or criticize Israel’s influence campaigns.

Researchers traced coordination within the network to Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its official Persian-language account (
@IsraelPersian
), which follows and interacts with dozens of these fake accounts. The ministry’s director of Persian media, Sharona Soleimany Avginsaz, and Netanyahu’s social media adviser Hananya Naftali were both linked to the same amplification networks. Emily Schrader, another prominent pro-Israel digital operative, was similarly found to benefit from coordinated bot engagement within this network. Even Naftali’s Persian-language account — which he does not personally manage — was found to be artificially inflated by these bots.

The report concludes that this campaign reflects state-actor-level organization and relies on what Israel’s foreign ministry itself calls “algorithmic diplomacy” — a digital propaganda model using automated systems to manipulate narratives through code. The result is a powerful illusion: a Persian Twittersphere seemingly dominated by anti-Iran, pro-Israel voices — when much of it is a state-sponsored mirage of bots and propaganda.
