🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸| ❗️One of Pahlavi’s own minions and former football player Ali Karimi (un)willingly exposed how Pahlavi-aligned circles fund coordinated cyber networks (he’s trying to rant)
He says Pahlavi figures use received funds not for civic education or genuine opposition activity, but to create and rent hundreds of social-media accounts, channels and high-reach pages.
According to Karimi, these pages are centrally directed: keywords, hashtags and targets for attacks are assigned at specific times, creating artificial waves of either outrage or praise online.
He says that when ordinary users suddenly see hundreds of similar posts and thousands of matching comments, they may believe a genuine “public demand” has emerged, while instead it’s just algorithmic spamming and media money-splashing.
Karimi also says these networks deploy rented cyber armies against independent opposition figures, branding anyone outside their circle of interests as a “traitor,” “regime agent,” or “project” in an attempt to destroy their public credibility.
He says some advisers who were once radical opponents of Pahlavi now operate in Pahlavi’s name while targeting other activists and members of the opposition.
