Iran was behind the cyber attack on the Trump campaign that became known earlier in August, the FBI and several other federal agencies said in a joint statement.
According to the statement, the attack is part of a broader strategy by Tehran, which aims to influence American policy and undermine trust in democratic institutions.
Iran is also said to have attempted to carry out attacks against Kamala Harris’s campaign.
