Iran and Russia Seek Influence in US Election

Vice President Kamala Harris has come under scrutiny for meeting Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi, an Iranian regime operative linked to antisemitic propaganda in the U.S., during a vaccination event in 2021. The encounter is detailed in a George Washington University report that highlights Iranian efforts to spread hate in America, including significant funding from the Alavi Foundation to Elahi's organization. Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran following a ballistic missile attack, Harris emphasized her commitment to diplomacy while stating that 'all options are on the table' regarding Iran's threats. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has warned Harris to be vigilant against potential last-minute election disruptions from the Trump campaign, which may exploit disinformation tactics. Intelligence reports indicate that both Russia and Iran are actively trying to influence the upcoming election, with Russia allegedly supporting Trump and Iran attempting to bolster Harris. The intricate geopolitical landscape underscores the complexities that Harris faces as she campaigns for the presidency.
