Washington: Voting in the US presidential election continues. At the same time, U.S. investigative agencies have made very serious accusations against Russia and Iran. Investigative agencies say that Russia and Iran have stepped up efforts to disrupt the U.S. election. Meanwhile, investigative agencies claim to have thwarted Russian election propaganda-related efforts in the United States. Federal agency officials pointed to a recent article by Russian supporters claiming that U.S. officials were planning to commit fraud in “swing states” in the presidential election.
This article also shared a video that misrepresented an interview with a man claiming election fraud in Arizona. In the United States, with the exception of “swing states,” voters in most states vote for the same party in every election. These electorally important states are called “swing states” because of their changing voter preferences. U.S. intelligence agencies have revealed that influential individuals with ties to Russia are producing videos and fake videos to influence the election process, according to a statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. .
U.S. blames Russia, Iran for sowing fear among voters
The United States accuses Russia and Iran of sowing fear among voters about the electoral process. Others say Americans are violent toward each other because of their political preferences. The statement said these actions could incite violence and may also involve election officials. However, the Russian embassy called the accusations “baseless” in an emailed statement and said Russia has not and will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, including the United States. The statement also reiterated Iran’s efforts to influence the election, including efforts to undermine Trump’s candidacy.
Charges against Iranian hackers
The Justice Department in September accused three Iranian hackers of carrying out the attack. According to Microsoft analysts, some created fake news sites at the behest of Iran to influence voters. Microsoft said last month that election-related websites and major media outlets were targeted by Iranian individuals who allegedly sent emails aimed at intimidating U.S. voters in the 2020 election. However, Russia and Iran have rejected suggestions that they want to interfere in the US election. (language)
