In an exclusive report, CNN said investigations showed that American Herald Tribune apparently belongs to the Iranian regime and pays Americans to write against US, President Donald Trump and Israel.
New evidences by Facebook research teams and FireEye, a top cybersecurity company, indicated that Iran is managing this website.
“A Facebook spokesperson told CNN Business that company staff who looked into the website's Facebook page say it was linked to Iranian state media,” the report said.
Facebook removed the page in 2018 in an attempt to stop Iran’s use of social media for its propaganda.
FireEye explained that it assessed with "moderate confidence" that the website originates in Iran and is part of a much larger influence operation.
American Herald Tribune publishes in English, criticizing American foreign policy and assaulting Washington and Jerusalem.
“The articles posted to American Herald Tribune are largely in line with the views of Iran's ruling establishment,” said the report.
