According to a top American intelligence official, Iran has been funding some of the anti-Israel hate that has plagued the U.S. recently. On Tuesday, a top American intelligence official warned that “actors tied to Iran’s government” are providing funding for anti-Israel protests across the US as part of an “increasingly aggressive” campaign. Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence, issued a statement warning of “concerning Iranian activity” and that the Iranian government, headed by newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian, would “opportunistically take advantage” of anti-Israel protests. She stated, “Iran is becoming increasingly aggressive in their foreign influence efforts, seeking to stoke discord and undermine confidence in our democratic institutions, as we have seen them do in the past, including in prior election cycles. They continue to adapt their cyber and influence activities, using social media platforms and issuing threats.”
Haines added, “We have observed actors tied to Iran’s government posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protesters.” Since the Palestinian terror attacks that raped, tortured, and murdered 1,200 Israeli civilians on Oct. 7 and kidnapped over 250 more, anti-Israel protests have erupted on the streets of cities across the US and on college campuses. Iran is a sponsor of the terrorist group Hamas and helped plan the attacks.
