Is anyone surprised that guy who is the CEO of Foundation for Defense of Democracies which is funded by Sheldon Adelson (who wants to nuke Iran) is trying to get this trending? #Iran #IranUsa #IraniansDetestSoleimani

Mind you he was trying to get it trending 2 days before Soleimani was assassinated

I am pretty sure it is a coincidence though.
And then you have this bot like activity spamming the #freeiran2020 hashtag along side #IraniansDetestSoleimani it all very much resembles #warpropaganda #iran #IranvsUSA #IranWar #NoIranWar
