Iran is using covert social media activity and related influence operations in an effort to undercut the candidacy of former President Donald Trump, a US intelligence official said Monday in an updated assessment of threats to the November election.

The US intelligence community has “observed Tehran working to influence the presidential election, probably because Iranian leaders want to avoid an outcome they perceive would increase tensions with the United States,” the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said in a statement.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting.

Russia and Iran are said to be allies of a sort.

Iran prefers a Harris presidency because Trump will be more assertive against Iran.

CNN alleges Russia prefers a Trump presidency because …

It seems a Trump presidency drives a wedge between Russia and Iran if that’s true.

Iran, China and many other nations do not want Trump to re-take office.

Even Russia is more comfortable with the socialists in the Democratic Party than with Trump.

Yes they have some strategic alliance. Yet those on the right who are Ukraine need not fall into this bait to be Islamic fascist Republic (with a global domination vision for their Mehdi belief) apologetic.

Where’s the problem? If the Iranians are helping Kamala and the Russians are helping Trump then it should balance things out.

This is quite a change in our intelligence agencies to worry about somebody hurting Trump’s campaign. Hmmm, I wonder what motive could be behind that abnormality.

US Intelligence is basically saying a Trump win increases tensions with Iran.

So......don’t vote for him?

Has John Kerry been giving interviews again? Or is it Hillary Clinton representing Iranian interests. Old John is married into the Iranian hierarchy.

I don’t believe each and every piece on CNN. But this makes sense. The Islamic Fascist regime want a weak Biden like admin.

For about 50 years, Iran has been governed by a bunch of jackasses who suppress their people and have their hands in international terrorism.

Iran proves The Law Of Unintended Consequences.

I remember my university professors squawking like old hens about how bad the Shah treated his people and how he had to go.

These supposedly intelligent people were not smart enough to consider the future of Iran if the Shah was removed.

They just felt bad and wanted the bad feeling to stop.

So, here we are.

50 years of even worse because our liberals felt bad.

They just don’t consider the unintended consequences of their actions.

They’re all dead now, leaving us to deal with their stupidity.

That’s how it is with liberals.

The Intelligence Communities response to this? Send Iran more money so they can do a better job.

The Intell Community is releasing this crap to distract folks from the fact that they are actively against Trump and fully support the SS leadership providing lax security for Trump. They are all currently run by vile people.
