Article Content
- •Claims of Iranian missile strikes on Ukraine are false and based on fabricated evidence.
- •The disinformation campaign aims to create panic among the Ukrainian population.
- •The original Iranian broadcast did not mention any threats against Ukraine.
The Center for Countering Disinformation at Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council has debunked claims that Iran threatened missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Lviv, and Odesa. These claims, circulated online, were based on a fabricated screenshot of a map allegedly from an Iranian TV broadcast. The original broadcast did not mention any strikes, and the disinformation appears aimed at inciting panic among Ukrainians. The fake news was attributed to a broadcast by the Iranian state television channel IRINN and included a manipulated caption in Persian. The spread of this misinformation coincided with heightened tensions in the region, but experts confirm there is no credible threat from Iran at this time.
