## Summary

A network of social media accounts using names such as “Iran Military” has attracted millions of views with frequent posts about the Iran conflict. Experts say the accounts show signs of content farms and help spread pro-Iran material, though their ownership and any links to state actors are not always clear.

One account, “Iran Military Media”, has more than 290,000 followers on X, 597,000 on Facebook and 17,200 on Instagram. Since late 2025, it has published over 1,600 X posts, drawing more than 150 million views and 3.6 million likes; ten similar accounts together recorded 12,588 posts, 353 million views and 6.6 million likes. Researchers say recurring “BREAKING” formats, high posting volumes and AI-generated or enhanced videos can help users identify content-farm behaviour.
