In the United States, the Republican Party’s presidential candidate Donald Trump’s the campaign says that some of its internal communications have been hacked.
The campaign reported the hack after Politico magazine said that he had obtained internal campaign documents from an anonymous source.
In a press release, the Trump campaign blamed the Iranian regime for the act, but so far it has not presented any evidence for the claim. However, the campaign team pointed to a report published by Microsoft on Friday, according to which hackers linked to the Iranian regime had sought to hack into the account of a high-ranking official influencing the presidential election.
The White House said it condemns all foreign interference in the country’s elections, reports the news channel CNN.
Relations between Trump and Iran had become inflamed during his presidency, when Iranian general Qassem Suleimani died in a US airstrike. In addition, the United States withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal under Trump.
