Washington: Iran is also becoming a big issue in the US presidential election. A big statement has been made by US intelligence officials. Intelligence officials have expressed confidence that Iran is responsible for interfering in Donald Trump’s presidential election campaign. This is being seen as Iran’s attempt to potentially change the results of the US election and interfere in the country’s politics. Trump’s campaign team, the Republican Party’s candidate for the presidency, said a few days ago that his campaign had been hacked through Iran.
Iran responsible for hacking
For the first time in the assessment of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other federal agencies, the US government has blamed Iran for the hacking, raising concerns about the threat of foreign interference in the election. Officials believe that apart from Trump’s campaign, Iran has also tried to hack Kamala Harris’s presidential election campaign.
Iran denies
Iran’s mission to the United Nations denied hacking, saying Iran had neither the purpose nor the intention to interfere in the elections and challenged the US to provide evidence. This statement has been given at a time when the US is hoping to prevent the threat of retaliation against Israel for the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh. Tensions have increased between the US and Tehran over this.
