Russia, Iran exploit French unrest; Macron suppresses Iran disinfo report

Researchers cited by The Times report that Russia and Iran are actively seeking to exacerbate and exploit unrest in France to weaken Western democracies. President Macron has reportedly blocked publication of an official report on Iran's online disinformation campaigns, fearing diplomatic fallout with Tehran, and prevented his foreign minister from disclosing it. The claim is sourced from a single media report and unverified; if confirmed, it signals a deliberate Western government decision to suppress intelligence for diplomatic reasons.
