The European Court of Auditors reported in April 2025 that the Commission moved €7.4 billion to 12,000+ NGOs in 2021–2023 and relies almost entirely on self-declarations to vet them.

Three Arab States Called It Terror, Brussels Wrote a Check: Inside Europe’s Islamist Youth Pipeline: In 2013 Egypt designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. Saudi Arabia did the same in 2014. The UAE followed within days.

Institutions tied to Iran’s "soft war" infrastructure: media-literacy club, Basij-linked media networks, IRIB propaganda ecosystems, and the Regime's cultural arm, Ammar Festival. Using sophisticated AI-influence operations.

Ansari was the face of Explosive Media, the viral Lego infowar operation flooding Western feeds with AI. The team publicly denies any tie to the state.. though on his personal IG, Ansari celebrates "soft war," the doctrine Khamenei personally coined in 2006.
