LONDON: Iran has been blamed for spearheading a global disinformation campaign that impersonated major media organizations and used fake Twitter accounts to undermine Saudi Arabia.

At least 135 fabricated articles were published since 2016 on websites that were created to mirror global media outlets such as Bloomberg and The Guardian, according to a new report.

Researchers, who tracked the operation for two years, said many of the articles were directed at Saudi Arabia.
