The White House announced new sanctions against Russia and Iran on Tuesday, alleging both countries attempted to influence the 2024 election.
Officials claim organizations affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a Russian intelligence agency targeted the election process through disinformation campaigns designed to divide the American people.
U.S. intelligence believes Russia favored President-elect Trump and pushed numerous false videos, while Iran backed Vice President Harris and pushed disinformation in Spanish.
Both Russia and Iran have denied the allegations, with one Iranian official calling them “unfounded.”
