"Iran Is Targeting the US Election With Fake News Sites and Cyber Operations, Research Says"
With the goal of creating division, Iran is adding to Russia’s and China’s efforts to sow distrust and chaos in the upcoming US election. Iran has been using websites and social media feeds directed to both politically left and right voters. Microsoft Threat Analysis thinks the sites use artificial intelligence to pick up news from real US news sites and then give it their own fake news twists. Russia has also been creating propaganda videos to support Trump and Russian points of view and China has been posting videos made to increase pro-Palestinian university protests.
