U.S. intelligence officials have attributed recent cyberattacks on Donald Trump and Kamala Harris's presidential campaigns to Iran. The FBI and other federal agencies reported that Iran's actions were part of a broader effort to interfere in U.S. elections and influence outcomes that Tehran deems critical to its national security interests. The assessment highlights Iran’s increasing use of cyber operations and influence campaigns targeting American political processes. Iran's UN mission denied the accusations, calling them unsubstantiated. This follows similar interference efforts by Russia and China in past U.S. elections.
