Harris Labels Iran as America's Greatest Adversary

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has identified Iran as America's greatest adversary, prioritizing it above China due to recent actions, including launching ballistic missiles at Israel. This marks a significant shift from the longstanding U.S. national security strategy that has consistently ranked China as the primary threat. Iran is also accused of running disinformation campaigns and hacking attempts as part of influence operations targeting U.S. elections, alongside other foreign adversaries like Russia and China. Iran’s history of cyber warfare and assassination plots complicates its relationship with the U.S., aligning with Harris's concerns. Intelligence officials warn that these foreign influence efforts could affect congressional races, showcasing the broader security challenges facing the U.S. electoral process. The evolving geopolitical tensions require the U.S. to navigate complex threats from both state actors and cyber operations.
