WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Russia, Iran and China are intent on fanning divisive narratives to divide Americans ahead of the Nov. 5 U.S. elections, a U.S. intelligence official said on Tuesday.
The official told reporters that foreign actors could consider physical threats and violence in the pre-election period, and after the election, and are highly likely to conduct post-election disinformation operations to create uncertainty and undermine the election process.
