White Helmets
The White Helmets are considered a terrorist group by Iran, Russia and Syria. The organisation has been the target of a sustained disinformation campaign by supporters of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria and Russian state-sponsored media organisations such as RT and Sputnik; the campaign has promoted false accusations connecting it with terrorist activities and other conspiracy theories. The organisation has also been criticized by the Iranian news agency MNA and Chinese state news agency Xinhua. An offer of assistance from the White Helmets was rejected by Kurdish-controlled areas of Syria in 2019.
