Hmm. Odd. It seems that when the Iranian regime shut down X in Iran a lot of the ScotNat Twitter accounts mysteriously went dark...

From Le Figaro (I haven't seen it reported in the British press, but apparently it's been in The Telegraph)

At the time of the national Internet outage imposed in Iran on January 8, many pro-Scottish pro-independence accounts on the social network X suddenly stopped, reports the British press. This temporal coincidence fuels suspicions of possible foreign interference from Tehran in the British political debate.
X accounts called "Scottish Lad" Jake or "Proud Scottish lass" Fiona have, in previous weeks, disseminated dozens of conspiracy theories as well as articles very critical of the United Kingdom and the debate on the independence of Scotland. Their abrupt stop at the time of the cut-off of the Iranian network has raised the hypothesis of false profiles presenting themselves as Scottish, but operated from abroad, possibly from Iran, with the aim of weakening the United Kingdom, explains the British newspaper The Telegraph.

Not that odd. Entirely predictable.

Statistically, at least a couple of the regulars here will be either Russian or Iranian bots. Might even be a Mossad one lurking. I've had my eye on Abers for a while, now.
