Interesting: Iran Was a Main Driver of Scottish Independence Social Media Campaign
[HotAir] The Scottish National Party appears to have had the substantial backing of the Iranian government.

At least it sure seems that way.

How do we know? Dozens of the most prominent pro-SNP X accounts that accounted for about 250,000 pro-Independence posts on X all went silent at once--on the day Israel started bombing the crap out of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Iran's internet went dark.

It's almost as if Iran were interested in sowing division and social strife in a country to which tens of thousands of Moslem immigrants colonists were streaming.

Dozens of anonymous social media accounts backing Scottish independence abruptly fell silent after Israel’s air strikes caused an internet blackout in Iran, it has been alleged.

The UK Defence Journal (UKDJ) reported that many of the accounts on X had posted hundreds of messages per week backing independence or criticising the UK.

But the posts suddenly stopped at the same time on June 13 after a major Israeli air strike campaign crippled Iran’s cyber infrastructure, causing an internet blackout that affected 95 per cent of national connectivity.

Some of the accounts included a first name and a description in their bios such as "NHS nurse" or "Glasgow socialist", and were accompanied by a photograph of a young, attractive person.

The disclosure comes after US researchers last year identified a network of more than 80 X accounts linked to Iran that had posted more than 250,000 messages since late 2021.
