Intelligence agencies have observed increasingly aggressive Iranian activity during this election cycle, particularly influence operations aiming to target the American public and cyber operations directed at presidential campaigns.
The FBI and other federal agencies attributed activities aimed at compromising former President Trump's campaign directly to Iran, marking a significant point of accusation amid heightened concerns of foreign interference.
Iran's mission to the United Nations challenged the US allegations, deeming them unsubstantiated and calling for evidence, insisting Iran has no intention or motive to interfere in American elections.
These developments represent the first instance where US agencies have publicly assigned blame for foreign influence in upcoming elections, reflecting rising tensions surrounding election security.
