International Powers Stoke Controversy and Unrest through Spreading Conspiracy Theories based on Kirk's Homicide, Involving Russia, China, and Iran.
In a recent development, the shooting of Charlie Kirk, a prominent figure, has become the focus of discussions, with Utah Governor Spencer Cox making remarks about the incident. The tragic event occurred on a college campus in Utah on September 10, 2025, when Kirk was fatally shot during his appearance.
Following the shooting, a significant spread of false or incendiary claims about the incident took place between September 10 and September 17. According to an analysis by NewsGuard, a company that tracks disinformation online, these claims framed Kirk's killing as a conspiracy. The analysis was conducted on September 17.
Official state media in Russia, Iran, and China mentioned Kirk 6,200 times during this period, spreading thousands of false or incendiary claims about his assassination. The nature of the plot involved in the conspiracy varied among the three countries.
In the week following the murder, U.S. President Donald Trump was a prominent leadership figure who mentioned the incident thousands of times in official media. Trump's statements aimed to link the event to "radical left" violence, sowing discord and portraying the United States as chaotic. No other specific leadership figures with similar scale or intent of spreading false or inflammatory claims have been identified in the available sources.
The claims made by these countries were intended to stoke political divisions or to portray the United States as a dysfunctional country. Governor Spencer Cox of Utah made remarks last week regarding the shooting. However, the analysis by NewsGuard did not provide details on how they tracked the spread of disinformation.
The shooting of Charlie Kirk is a significant event in Utah and is currently the subject of ongoing discussions. It is a reminder of the importance of accurate and responsible reporting in times of crisis.
