Iran has been confirmed to be behind the anti-Israel protests at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. According to sources combating digital disinformation, Iran orchestrated these protests to undermine Western support for Israel and fuel divisiveness on Canadian soil. A cybersecurity company, XPOZ, revealed that 60 percent of the pro-Palestine campus protestors were not authentic online. Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence, reported that these antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-West student protests are tied to Iran. Coordinated social media efforts from IRGC-linked users inside Iran fueled the campus protests. This incident raises concerns about foreign influence on North American campuses, as reported by Negar Mojtahedi.
