Cognitive Design Production Center U.S. election operation
An IRGC subsidiary's planning for influence operations intended to incite socio-political tensions among U.S. voters before the 2024 election, as documented in a U.S. Treasury designation.
Treasury stated that the Cognitive Design Production Center had planned the operations on behalf of the IRGC since at least 2023. The public designation provides less operational detail than the parallel CGE record, so this page does not infer platforms, content, audience size or electoral effect beyond what Treasury published.
