This video, claiming to show morality police “today” in Orumiyeh (Urmiah) in Iran’s north-western West Azarbayjan Province, was actually filmed during the 2022 protests triggered by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa (Jina) Amini in morality police custody.

A ‘proof of life’ video in which Chechen leader Kadyrov doesn’t move a muscle, apart from his lips - which just about part to utter some barely intelligible words (though that part is normal for him)

This is another fake video using our organisations name in a falsified BBC report to spread disinformation. This is an ongoing campaign of videos, first posted on Telegram and then appearing on X and other platforms.

This image, viewed half a million times, falsely claims to show the commander of a 'French mercenary group' - paid by Israel - who's been killed along with his unit in Gaza.

But the image, taken in 2013, shows Israeli soldiers taking part in an exercise in the Golan Heights.

Another fake BBC video citing Bellingcat is doing the rounds on Russian Telegram.
This time claiming Zelensky’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak paid 27m dollars to be included in Time 100 list.
There have been a few of these BBC/Bellingcat anti-Ukraine fakes in the past months.

This TikTok with nearly 5m views doesn’t show an Israeli or US missile attack on Iran.

It’s video game footage - as is evident from buildings and details like smoke.

That's the red beach of Hormuz Island, a famous tourist attraction in the Persian Gulf, and it hasn't suddenly turned red because of Israel-Iran tensions, biblical plagues, God's wrath or Passover.

It's always been red because of red oxide in the soil.

On Sunday, a report on Russian state TV showed chevrons of “Canadian mercenaries” that were found in Ukraine.
Except, the chevrons had the flag and coat of arms of Udmurtia, a republic in Russia, on them. (h/t to Udm-info Telegram channel)

A very clear example of dangerous misattribution by 'verified' accounts on X.

Accounts falsely accused a university student of the horrible attack over the weekend in Sydney.

The claim was then amplified by a national news outlet.

We examined real and fake clips of Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel.

We synched 3 different unverified videos purporting to show missiles hitting an Israeli air base. They all clearly show the same event.
