Rubio Directs Diplomats to Collaborate with Pentagon on Anti-Propaganda Efforts
U.S. diplomats are instructed to coordinate with the Pentagon's Psychological Operations to counter anti-American narratives. This initiative emphasizes the importance of combating foreign influence operations that threaten U.S. national security.

U.S. diplomats have been instructed to work with the Pentagon's Psychological Operations (MISO) to combat foreign influence operations. This directive aims to address falsehoods that threaten national security and foster hostility towards American interests.
MISO has historically conducted psychological operations, including a notable 2015 campaign against the Islamic State in Syria involving graphic propaganda leaflets. Past military psyop initiatives have sometimes caused friction with U.S. diplomatic efforts, particularly noted during the Trump administration.
The Pentagon has not commented on the specifics of this collaboration. Additionally, Elon Musk's acquisition of xAI by SpaceX links social media dynamics to defense strategies.
