These Middle Eastern News Sites Are Actually U.S. Government Propaganda Operations

Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News, Arabic and Farsi-language outlets, are revealed as U.S. government-funded propaganda operations promoting American foreign policy. The Intercept found these sites, which mimic legitimate Middle Eastern media, focus on anti-Iran messaging and praise U.S. allies like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Their affiliations with a military psychological operations campaign are detailed, though CENTCOM and the DoD have not responded.
