Iran and Russia could stoke violence after Election Day, intel community warns

U.S. adversaries will likely continue their efforts to meddle between next month’s elections and before the next president is inaugurated in January 2025, according to U.S. intelligence community officials.

American adversaries — primarily China, Russia, and Iran — have carried out dis- and misinformation campaigns online to disparage U.S. politicians, promote divisive and controversial topics meant to divide the American electorate, and U.S. officials believe their efforts will not stop on Election Day, which is two weeks away.
