Targeted critics: They aimed more than two dozen batches of hostile Persian-language replies at Iran International, a UK-based outlet critical of the regime. In my view, this edges into transnational repression.
AI is making it easier for foreign influence operations to run a wider range of tactics at once. Yesterday, @OpenAI exposed an Iran-origin operation that shows how. 🧵
Jake Breach retweeted
Continuous threat identification and disruption should be combined with other actions, such as sanctions, that impose costs on adversaries. Deterrence should deny benefits to adversaries by increasing Americans’ awareness of the threat through public communications. Max Lesser, Pavneet Kaur & @JBreach: fdd.org/analysis/2026/…
Jake Breach retweeted
We should not rely on corporate goodwill. A duty to report foreign state-linked activity to a designated federal agency would make detection a requirement and would give outside researchers a channel for their work, writes @JBreach: fdd.org/analysis/2026/…
A foreign government is free to speak to Americans. It should not be free to pretend to be someone else. That is the bargain broadcast has lived under for a century. So should social media platforms. My latest with @FDD in the Washington Examiner washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…

Cyber Command disrupted the Russian troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency on Election Day in 2018 — but it recovered and went on to target the 2020 election. Max Lesser, Pavneet Kaur & @JBreach on why continuous disruption matters: fdd.org/analysis/2026/…
Elections are targets of opportunity for our adversaries, but foreign malign influence is a persistent threat. Russia, China, and Iran are continuously launching influence operations attempting to shape the beliefs and behaviors of Americans. My latest @FDD.
Defense Department’s Public Election Security Directive Sends Important, but Belated, Signal to U.S. Adversaries New FDD Policy Brief from Max Lesser, Jacob Breach, and Pavneet Kaur bit.ly/4j0JIWX
The UK's new National Centre for Information Defence is a smart idea. My advice as a plankholder at the US Foreign Malign Influence Center: make it actor- and narrative-agnostic. Define the threat by how it's done, not who it helps or what it says. theguardian.com/technology/202…
Jake Breach retweeted
A worthwhile read. Manteno, Illinois offers a case study in what's missing from U.S. investment screening: local residents pushing for scrutiny of Chinese-linked tech investment that state/local authorities aren't equipped to provide. Communities shouldn't have to assess national security risk alone. theepochtimes.com/article/a-chin…
I appreciate seeing this release today reminding the public that acting at the control or direction of a foreign government or principal requires registration under FARA. Americans should know who is behind the microphone: justice.gov/opa/pr/liabili…
