Russia, China and Iran are interfering in the US elections to influence their outcome, a report claims.

Intelligence agencies in Russia, Iran and China are creating “networks of Western and American individuals” who are spreading propaganda narratives to interfere in the US presidential election.

Russian intelligence services are creating such networks to amplify sociopolitical divisions, including the assassination attempt on Trump and Biden’s withdrawal from the race. According to the US National Intelligence Estimate, Russia remains the top threat to the country. The Kremlin is partnering with marketing and PR companies to make it difficult to trace the source of propaganda, while China is using a similar strategy for foreign audiences. Iran, for its part, is amplifying social discord and trying to influence the US election. Iran has used disinformation in its efforts and is actively inciting conflict between Israel and Gaza.

On July 21, 2024, Biden announced his withdrawal from the race, nominating Harris as his running mate. On July 23, Harris raised $81 million for her campaign. The Trump campaign filed a complaint, arguing that the transfer of Biden campaign money to Vice President Harris was a violation. On July 25, Harris announced her candidacy on Page X. On July 28, Harris raised $200 million in her first week of campaigning.

Russia, China, and Iran are all working to interfere in the U.S. elections through propaganda and networks of individuals. Russian intelligence services are spreading pro-Russian narratives, while China is seeking to undermine candidates who threaten its interests. Iran continues its efforts to undermine trust in U.S. institutions and actively uses disinformation and propaganda. Such actions could have serious implications for the U.S. political situation and relations between the countries.
