Iran tried to influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential elections in the United States, seeking to prevent Donald Trump from winning them. This is stated in the report of the US National Intelligence Agency, TASS reports.
US intelligence said Tehran was conducting a “multi-faceted covert campaign” aimed at undermining Trump's prospects for re-election, public confidence in the US electoral process and institutions, and to “sow discord and exacerbate social tensions” in the country. At the same time, US intelligence believes that Iran was not trying to “directly assist rivals” Trump.
Earlier, US intelligence in its report accused Russia of supporting the re-election of Donald Trump and “denigrating” Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. At the same time, intelligence did not record Moscow's attempts to “gain access to the American electoral infrastructure” during the 2020 elections. In addition, the document provides information on the activities of the PRC and Iran during the last year's election campaign in the United States.
On November 3, 2020, the next presidential elections were held in the United States. On January 7, the US Congress approved the victory of Democrat Joe Biden, he became the 46th head of state.
