Agencies in the US intelligence community said Russia and Iran continue to try to influence American elections, with Russia working to defeat pro-Ukraine candidates and boost Trump and his allies, while Iran is firmly trying to defeat MAGA, the Washington Post reports.
Iran looks at a potential second Trump term as a further step back in its efforts to improve its economics and international standing, with Trump vowing to further undermine Western efforts to negotiate a halt to Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Russia hopes to get Republicans who will cut funding for Ukraine’s defense into office, as well as return Putin’s puppet to the Oval Office.
