<p>Russia and Iran are attempting to sow division among President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; movement by amplifying deceptive voices and opinions “masquerading as MAGA loyalists,” according to a new report.</p>
<p>The report comes around high-stakes talks the Trump administration has had with Russia on ending the war in Ukraine and Iran on ending its nuclear enrichment capability.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) report, titled “<a href="https://networkcontagion.us/reports/6-18-25-false-flags-and-fake-maga-how-foreign-and-inauthentic-networks-use-fake-speech-to-destabilize-the-right-from-within/">False Flags and Fake MAGA: How Foreign and Inauthentic Networks Use Fake Speech to Destabilize the Right from Within</a>,” states that Russia and Iran’s “coordinated playbook delegitimized every fresh headline as a false narrative, amplified Tehran’s lines, and accused Donald Trump of complicity and moral corruption.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Those efforts exploited what the institute called a “false flag reflex,” a “conditioned response that turns every major atrocity into a trigger for trending conspiracy claims.” The report listed the Uvalde, Texas, shooting, the October 7 Hamas massacre of more than 1200 people in Israel, the attempted Trump assassinations, as well as other domestic attacks.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“In the days following these crises, Kremlin-affiliated propagandists and Iranian state-linked media are able to rapidly inject narratives that are taken up by MAGA-impostor influencers, who then inject them into MAGA-branded spaces, often within minutes of breaking news,” the report asserted, “During one such activation window, 650,000 posts supporting false flag conspiracies drew nearly four million interactions, powered by a pipeline of Kremlin-affiliated propagandists, spam-bot networks, and domestic influencers such as Nick Fuentes, Jake Shields, and Jackson Hinkle.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“These figures, who have long been associated with right-wing cultural commentary, first used their platforms to propagate Kremlin-seeded narratives; these influential accounts then turned on Trump himself in a coordinated assault following a public break between Elon Musk and the president,” it continued. “In the lead-up to the war with Iran, this network then pivoted outward and amplified false Iranian claims that the International Atomic Energy Agency was operating under foreign control, echoing Tehran’s strategic messaging.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">NCRI added that their “findings suggest that what appears to be grassroots disillusionment may in fact reflect foreign-directed efforts to fracture American identity from within.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“If you talk to Republicans right now, more than 80% of them support the war against Iran,” an NCRI analyst stated, according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/19/us-news/armies-of-kremlin-and-iran-bots-aimed-at-attempting-to-destroy-maga-report/">New York Post</a>. “But if you go on Twitter you get the sense that there is a civil war raging. This is exactly the purpose of the psychological operation — to destabilize people’s perceptions of institutions that are supposed to protect us.”</p>
<p>An analysis of the main accounts driving such narratives appears to show a coordinated effort, according to the report.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“To identify key narrative drivers, NCRI analyzed X accounts with the highest audience engagement on ‘foreign flag’ posts,” the report stated. The report added that &#8220;he leading amplifiers split into two dominant clusters,&#8221; breaking them down as &#8220;foreign-linked actors&#8221; and &#8220;US-based influencers with MAGA branding&#8230;who gave the campaign domestic legitimacy.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Despite differing origin points, the accounts converged in timing, tone, and target, suggesting coordinated amplification across aligned ecosystems,” the report said.</p>
