Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned that Iran would “double down” its efforts to interfere with the United States’s presidential election so long as there is no resistance from the Biden administration.

Pompeo, who was part of the Trump administration, stated that this interference is “deeply concerning,” especially how Iran is “clearly weighing in on one side” to aid Biden.
