Twitter and Facebook have taken down thousands of accounts linked to the Iranian government which was part of a massive misinformation campaign that targeted the U.S. midterm elections. Unlike other foreign misinformation campaigns, this one did not stop at the use of fake media outlets and fake social media accounts. This campaign also successfully utilized legitimate media outlets like the Los Angeles Times and the Times of Israel to publish columns, opinion pieces, and letters. Much of the misinformation centered around the Iranian nuclear deal, as well as anti-Saudi, anti-Israeli, and pro-Palestinian ideals.
