The United States accuses Iran of infiltrating the Trump campaign's digital systems.
U.S. intelligence agencies have allegedly determined that Iran has engaged in operations aimed at swaying American public sentiment and launching cyber assaults against the presidential election campaign. This allegedly includes actions directed towards the Trump campaign, which have been connected to Iran, according to U.S. security officials.
American authorities are reportedly confident that Iran has employed tactics to tamper with individuals associated with both political sides. The objective of these attempts was to influence the democratic process of the U.S. election.
On August 10, the Trump campaign openly declared that it had been subject to a hacking attack. They attributed the disclosure of internal communications and a file pertaining to the Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance to "outside forces." Trump spokesman Steven Cheung accused Iran as being the perpetrator.
Iran's mission to the United Nations refuted their nation's involvement in the hacking incident, demanding concrete evidence supporting the accusations. The mission responded, "These allegations are unjustified and lack any merit." Iran declares no intention or motive to meddle in the U.S. presidential election.
The election of the new U.S. president is scheduled for November 3. Both Trump's campaign and that of his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, as well as several U.S. tech companies, have reported being targeted by hackers in recent times.
The Commission, being a part of the U.S. government, is investigating the allegations of Iran's involvement in cyber attacks against the presidential election campaign. In light of the hacking incident on the Trump campaign and the accusations made by Trump's spokesman, The Commission is seeking concrete evidence to substantiate these claims.
