On April 22nd, a London media outfit called the Arabic Islamic Broadcasting Union has been hiding ties to Hezbollah with a top propagandist for the group listed as a director until records got scrubbed. NASA Octar, a senior Hezbollah spokesman backed by Iran, also works as a media strategist for Yemen's Houthis and holds a key role in a group, sanctioned by the U.S. for IRGC links. He joined the company's board on February 22nd, 2018, but they backdated his exit to the same day this year. Then there is Yasser Al-Sahee, the other director since the company started in 2017. He lost his Barani citizenship over security issues, became British, and ran a channel accused of pumping out IRGC propaganda that praised Hamas, and Hezbollah figures. Experts like security pros say, this smells like a shell company for Iranian influence ops in the UK, building networks in communities for long term, sway, recruitment, or funding without direct ties to Tehran.

MPs and watchdogs have flagged similar media and charity setups, spreading regime-boosting lies. Meanwhile, as counter-terror cops probe Iran linked attacks like recent synagogue arsons, this uncovers how deep these networks run right here, urging. A harder look at who's really pulling strings.
