Part 7 - The Afghanistan cluster
A smaller number of Afghanistan assets was found to be using similar techniques to the other clusters such as AI-created profile images, fake news sites, and information from US sources.
The sites ‘consistently advanced narratives critical of Iran and its actions’. ‘Sometimes these narratives included inflammatory claims accompanied by articles from the US military-linked website afghanistan.asia-news.com.’

The report cites a provocative example: ‘A tweet from March 11 2022 which claimed that relatives of deceased Afghanistan refugees had reported bodies being returned from Iran with missing organs.’ The article includes interviews with a purported Afghan official and Afghan nurse making the same unverified claims.
Since the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban in August 2021, the fake sites have ‘highlighted women’s protests against Taliban authorities and criticised Afghanistan’s new government for its treatment of women and journalists’.
