The US Justice Department has charged three Iranian operatives with hacking Donald Trump's presidential campaign and disseminating stolen information to media organizations. The hackers, employed by Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, targeted government officials, media members, and NGOs. US intelligence officials have linked Iran to a hack of the Trump campaign and an attempted breach of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris campaign, stating that the operation aimed to sow discord and potentially influence election outcomes. The indictment comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran.
