"Oxford" reveals the flaws of the Iranian regime in its "dirty" electronic warfare against the kingdom

"Twitter" closes thousands of accounts attacking Riyadh with Tehran support

Iran continues its anti-Arab policy, targeting mainly Saudi Arabia, because it represents a religious, economic and political symbol of the Arab nation, from the ocean to the Gulf. His war against the Arabs is not limited to supporting the Huthi terrorist group with weapons and equipment in its clash with the Saudi Arabian coalition for the liberation of Yemen or to spend generously on mercenaries and armed militia in Iraq, Lebanon, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. To spread the violence and unrest in these countries, Tehran has adopted a dirty electronic warfare, which has managed thousands of accounts on social networking sites and has been used to launch electronic warfare against Arabs, particularly the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In its electronic warfare, Iran warned the international community that these accounts belonged to Saudi citizens residing in the kingdom and dissatisfied with the government of their country. However, his efforts failed after the Oxford Internet Institute revealed a study entitled "Iran's Digital Intervention in the Arab World". Thousands of accounts have been seized on social networking sites dating back to Iran and used to attack Saudi Arabia, in order to discredit its reputation and to cause confusion.

The study, based on precise figures, confirmed that Iran's intervention in Arab politics had become more evident since the 2011 Arab Spring protests, claiming that Iran had tried to extend its influence in the region through a political confrontation with Saudi Arabia, convinced that Riyadh was adopting the defense of the Arab nation. And supports the countries affected by Iran, such as Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Bahrain.

According to the study, "in October 2018, Twitter revealed about 770 accounts likely to return to Iran.In this study, we verify that Twitter wrote in Arabic in these calculations and reveals that the Arabic language is the third most used language in the Iranian data collection, Noting that "the tweets were not intended to promote social networks with other Arab users, but aimed to promote certain websites; 69% of the links refer to information sites in Arabic, on behalf of Iran and to the attack of Arab policy, including Saudi politics, In addition to promoting these accounts correspond to political websites supervised by Iranian organizations.

The evidence in the Oxford study confirms that Iran is fully committed to its political agenda of weakening the Arab states, in accordance with the Iranian plan to besiege the kingdom and to pose social problems through imaginary calculations on which Iran spends, Saudi Arabia, as if it belonged to Saudi citizens.

The study found that, given the growing importance of social networking platforms around the world, foreign actors have used them to intervene in the policies of other countries, and although Iran is interfering constantly in Arab politics – militarily or through the support of non-state actors – This digital intervention is a modern strategy, adopted by Iran to exert influence in the Arab world.

In October 2018, Twitter released two data series, including 3,841 IRA accounts and 770 accounts impacting Iran. Twitter stopped these accounts in August 2018 because of its involvement in coordinated manipulation on this platform.

The Oxford study reveals the extent of hatred of the mullahs against Saudi Arabia, which refuses to follow the same path, saying that the regime would collapse on its own because its policy is criticized by all the world's countries. , Manipulates religion and uses Iranian funds to achieve personal political goals.
