58:03Now PlayingRecent investigations have exposed a covert yet significant influence of the Iranian regime behind anti-Israel protests on university campuses in the U.S. and Canada. A report by Focus on Western Islamism (FWI) revealed that groups like Rise Against Oppression, active at the University of Houston, have been instrumental in organizing pro-Palestinian encampments while openly aligning with Iran’s leadership. This group, collaborating with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), has hosted conferences celebrating Ayatollah Khomeini, further indicating their deep ties to the Islamic Republic. Additionally, events by Rise featured figures such as Yousef Mawry, a Houthi-aligned Yemeni activist, and Muzzamil Zaidi, an Islamist in Qom, Iran, who has funneled thousands of dollars to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Muslim Congress, another Shia Islamist organization based in Houston, has not only promoted Khamenei’s writings but also organized Al-Quds Day rallies, an event directly supported by the Iranian government to propagate anti-Israel sentiment. Moreover, the cybersecurity firm XPOZ discovered that the influence campaign is transnational, with protests at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, heavily influenced by inauthentic accounts linked to Iran’s IRGC, which were responsible for inciting violence and coordinating protest activities. Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence, emphasized the broader implications of these findings, stating, “Iranian government actors have sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests regarding the war in Gaza, using a playbook we’ve seen other actors use over the years.” These revelations underscore the extensive and deliberate efforts by the Iranian regime to manipulate public opinion and protest movements across North America.
