According to Treasury’s acting undersecretary, adversaries like Iran and Russia will not succeed in undermining democracy, as the US remains vigilant against targeted disinformation campaigns.
The sanctions target a Russia-based agency's financial support in spreading misinformation related to the election process, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding foreign influence in American democracy.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized that the newly imposed sanctions are a continuation of efforts to counteract Iranian interference and Russia's disinformation tactics.
