Iranian accounts on X promote messages targeting U.S. policy after leadership losses

Iranian accounts on X have posted messages critical of U.S. policy positions after reported strikes and leadership changes earlier this year, according to statements from analysts. The accounts have shared English-language posts that reference agricultural products and past negotiations. One post stated that unfrozen assets would not be used to purchase U.S. crops.

Messaging patterns described Counterterrorism expert Dr.

Omar Mohammed said the accounts show coordinated posting by multiple officials within minutes of each other. "The coordination between the leadership is visible: You watch the same lines reposted verbatim by the judiciary chief, the vice president and the security council within minutes," Mohammed told Fox News Digital.

Mohammed added that the accounts appear to operate as a substitute for in-person appearances by senior figures.

Internet access differences noted Internet monitoring firm NetBlocks director Alp Toker said Iranian officials use foreign platforms while restricting domestic access. "These regimes are learning to combine social media, AI and internet censorship as tools for asymmetric information warfare," Toker said.

Toker noted the pattern creates a two-tier system where officials can reach global audiences while limiting citizen access at home.
