This report examines the main disinformation narratives that circulated in Greece and Cyprus during the first months of the 2026 US/Israel war on Iran. Drawing on fact-checks published by leading Greek and Cypriot fact-checking organisations, it analyses how false and misleading claims spread across social media, news websites and other online platforms.
The report identifies recurring narratives designed to exaggerate or undermine the military capabilities of different actors, explores the growing use of AI-generated content and recycled imagery, and explains the verification methods used to debunk these claims. It also examines the actors and platforms that amplified misleading information, providing insights into the evolving disinformation landscape during a major international conflict.
