US election: Iran trying to sabotage Trump’s campaign – American Intelligence

A United States intelligence official has claimed that Iran is trying to sabotage the Republican candidate, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
The US intelligence official with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, ODNI, said Iran planned carrying out the action through online influence operations, Fox News reports.
Addressing journalists at a press briefing on Monday, the official whose name was not disclosed, said US spy agencies “observed Tehran working to influence the presidential election,” likely because Iranian leaders want to avoid increased tensions with the US.
The official noted that American spies “haven’t observed a shift in Iran’s preferences” since 2020, meaning that Iran was still targeting Trump.
The official also said Iran is utilizing “vast webs of online personas and propaganda mills to spread disinformation,” in addition to different online campaigns.
