Exclusive: IRGC Quote in Netanyahu's Speech Raises Questions of Misinformation in Global Diplomacy
A fake quote attributed to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was allegedly used in a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, highlighting the risks of misinformation in global diplomacy.
