A report in a Hebrew newspaper about the activities of Reza Pahlavi's supporters in favor of Netanyahu.
In an investigative article, Haaretz newspaper revealed that a network of 1,653 fake accounts on X, who identified themselves as Iranians, promoted Netanyahu and the Likud party on the eve of the Knesset elections; Some even asked Israelis to vote for Netanyahu in Hebrew and in the name of the people of Iran.
The data was obtained from the monitoring company XPOZ and the complaint of the Brandeis Institute and FakeReporter to the Election Commission.
The network's activity intensified as of October 18; The daily publication of Netanyahu's content increased from 97 to 556.
Between October 22 and 24, out of 1,405 active accounts, 826 supported Likud and 314 explicitly wanted to vote for it; Only 7 accounts were active against him.
The peak of activity was during the day and night elections; A sample of 30 accounts published 54 messages in Hebrew during this period.
Abnormal coordination patterns were identified; For example, two accounts shared 109 posts.
Earlier, the network mainly supported Reza Pahlavi and against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and after the elections it immediately returned to the same issues as before.
