Authorities in Islamabad have recently uncovered a sophisticated network of fake social media accounts linked to India and Afghanistan, which had been actively spreading anti-Pakistan propaganda. The operation reportedly used accounts masquerading as Iranians to conceal the origins of the campaign and mislead the online audience.
Investigations indicate that the disinformation campaign was designed to undermine Pakistan’s stability, damage its international reputation, and escalate regional tensions. Beyond targeting Pakistan, the network also circulated misleading content aimed at the United States, Iran, and the broader Muslim world.
According to officials, the operation was largely orchestrated by India-linked accounts, which coordinated the overall strategy, set narratives, and directed messaging across the network. Afghan-based accounts played a supporting role, posing as Iranian users to amplify false claims and lend a veneer of legitimacy to the disinformation. Among the circulated fabrications were unsubstantiated allegations thatPakistan had been supplying oil to Washington—claims that authorities have confirmed were entirely baseless.
The discovery underscores the growing challenge of online disinformation campaigns and highlights the need for continued vigilance against coordinated attempts to manipulate public perception and international opinion. Security authorities have emphasized that such networks not only threaten national security but also risk inflaming regional tensions through the spread of false information.
