While Netanyahu accuses Russia of supporting Iranian disinformation (a hybrid/information warfare tactic), the IRGC commander's signaling of support for a new defense minister amid 'hybrid war posturing' indicates the Iranian side's active engagement in similar non-kinetic and strategic coordination, likely involving Russian partners, which is the context of Netanyahu's accusation."
