A BBC investigation alleging the use of a World War I-era chemical agent during Georgia’s 2024 protests has escalated into a major information war episode, exposing deep geopolitical tensions, contested narratives, and a fierce struggle over Georgia’s political direction.

Regardless of whether the claims ultimately stand or fall and how the ledger of truth and innocence is decided, the episode has already become a proxy for larger battles over influence, credibility, and intent — and it is within this charged environment that the breaking story now demands closer scrutiny.
