X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israel’s Attack on Iran

Minutes after the US and Israel launched a major combat operation against Iran, disinformation exploded on X. Misleading posts, some with millions of views, falsely claimed to show the attack's scale and locations.

Under Elon Musk, X has become a haven for disinformation during global events. Viral posts often come from blue check accounts, raising concerns about accountability and the spread of false narratives.

As misinformation spreads, the stakes rise. The impact on public perception and international relations could be significant, with the potential for escalating tensions and conflict.
