America accuses Russia and Iran of creating fear among voters
The US has accused Russia and Iran of creating fear among voters about the election process. It is also said that Americans are committing violence against each other because of their political preferences. The statement said that 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 US. The statement also reiterated Iran’s efforts to influence the election, including a campaign to damage Trump’s candidacy.
Accusations on Iranian hackers
The Justice Department in September 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 targeted by Iranian individuals who allegedly sent emails aimed at intimidating US voters in the 2020 election. However, Russia and Iran have rejected claims that they want to interfere in the US elections. (Language)
