The United States has sanctioned entities in Iran and Russia over alleged attempts to interfere in the 2024 U.S. election.
A statement by the U.S. Treasury Department, said
the entities, including a subsidiary of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC,
and an organization affiliated with Russia’s military intelligence agency, GRU,
were aimed at stoking socio-political tensions and influencing the U.S.
electorate during the 2024 U.S. election.
According to the statement, the Governments of Iran and
Russia targeted the election processes and institutions seeking to divide the
American people through targeted disinformation campaigns.
“The United States will remain vigilant against adversaries
who would undermine our democracy,” the statement said.
Responding, Russia’s embassy in Washington in a statement
said Russia has not and does not interfere in the internal affairs of other
countries, including the United States.
“As President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed, we
respect the will of the American people.
“All insinuations about ‘Russian machinations’ are malicious
slander, invented for use in the internal political struggles in the United
States,” the spokesperson added.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations in New York has not yet
responded to the allegation
Recall that Republican Donald Trump was elected president in
November, beating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and capping a remarkable
comeback four years after he was voted out of the White House.
