WASHINGTON: The United States unveiled charges on Friday against three individuals as it accused Iran of election interference, saying malicious actors had hacked the campaign of former president Donald Trump.
The three defendants were said to have conspired with others to carry out “a years-long, wide ranging hacking operation on behalf of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC),” said US Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The operation in recent times targeted individuals associated with US political campaigns.
“The defendants´ own words make clear that they were attempting to undermine former president Trump´s campaign in advance of the 2024 US presidential election,” Garland said.
