Washington: Voting continues for the presidential elections in the United States. Meanwhile, American investigative agencies have made very serious accusations against Russia and Iran. Investigative agencies say Russia and Iran have stepped up efforts to disrupt the US election. Meanwhile, investigative agencies have claimed to have thwarted Russia’s efforts related to election propaganda in the United States. Federal agency officials pointed to an article recently published by Russian partisans that claimed U.S. officials are plotting fraud in “swing states” in the presidential election.
A video also shared with this article misrepresents an interview with a man alleging voter fraud in Arizona. In the United States, except in the “swing” states, voters in most states have voted for the same party in every election. Voter inclinations continue to change in these electorally important states, hence why they are called “swing states.” A statement issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said US intelligence agencies have revealed that influential people linked to Russia are making videos and fake videos to influence the electoral process. .
The United States accuses Russia and Iran of creating fear among voters
The United States has accused Russia and Iran of creating fear among voters about the electoral process. Americans are also said to commit violence against each other because of their political preferences. The statement said these efforts are likely to incite violence, which could also involve election officials. However, the Russian embassy in an emailed statement called the allegations “baseless” and said Russia has not and does 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 a campaign to damage Trump’s candidacy.
Accusations against Iranian hackers
In September, the Justice Department blamed three Iranian hackers for the effort. According to Microsoft analysts, actors acting at the behest of Iran have created fake news websites in an effort to influence voters. Microsoft said last month that election-related websites and major media outlets were being attacked by Iranian individuals who allegedly sent emails aimed at intimidating American voters in the 2020 election. However, Russia and Iran have rejected claims that they want to interfere in the US elections. (Language)
