Anatomy of a Spoof: How an Iran-Aligned Disinformation Actor Targeted FPRI

About the Event

Early in 2020, the FPRI website was spoofed to help perpetuate a sectarian narrative in Iraq. To discuss the spoof and to explore Iranian linked disinformation, Dr. Aaron Stein, FPRI's Director of Research, will host a discussion with Adam Rawnsley, a journalist who has written extensively about national security issues.
