Iranian hackers hacked emails… Trump’s election campaign’s big accusation in US elections

The team heading the presidential election campaign of former US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that his emails have been hacked. The team claimed that people from Iran are involved in stealing and disseminating these sensitive internal documents. Although the team heading the campaign did not provide any direct evidence of Iran’s involvement, its claim came after a report was released by Microsoft.

This report details the efforts of foreign agents to interfere in the US campaign in 2024. Trump’s election campaign spokesman Steven Cheung has blamed ‘foreign sources hostile to America’ for the hacking. A National Security Council spokesman said in a statement that it (the council) took the report of improper foreign interference ‘extremely seriously’ and condemns any government or institution that attempts to undermine confidence in American democratic institutions.

What did Iran say?

But at the same time the spokesperson said that the matter has been left to the Justice Department. Iran’s mission to the United Nations denied involvement when asked about the Trump campaign’s claim. “We do not place any credence to such reports,” the mission said. “The Iranian government has no intention or motive to interfere in the US presidential election and it does not intend to do so,” the mission said.
