wp-embedded-content
SamNope, the hidden iframe is part of WordPress Embed Post.
Here's blockquote html:
<blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="by9Rs75NEz"><p><a href="http://canacochihuahua.com/encuesta/medios-electronicos-2/"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Electronic media</font></font></a></p></blockquote>
and here's iframe:
<iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);" src="https://canacochihuahua.com/encuesta/medios-electronicos-2/embed/#?secret=by9Rs75NEz" data-secret="by9Rs75NEz" width="600" height="338" title=""Electronic Media" - CANACO" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
As you can see, they share some common data. Without that hidden iframe, the blockquote is just a normal blockquote, not WordPress Embed Post anymore.
