US intelligence says Iran, Russia and China hope to stoke post-election violence
|
[IsraelTimes] While foreign actors unlikely to alter results of Nov. 5 vote, officials warn they remain intent on fanning divisive narratives to undermine confidence in democratic process
Russia, China and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
are intent on fanning divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled ...
narratives to divide Americans ahead of the November 5 US presidential elections and may consider fomenting violence after voters go to the polls, US intelligence officials said on Tuesday.
The officials, briefing news hounds on US election security, said foreign actors could consider physical threats and violence, and are highly likely to conduct disinformation operations to create uncertainty and undermine the election process.
"Foreign actors, particularly Russia, Iran and China, remain intent on fanning divisive narratives to divide Americans and undermine Americans’ confidence in the US democratic system. These activities are consistent with what these actors perceive to be in their interests, even as their tactics continue to evolve," said one official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
That official said influence actors "particularly from Russia, Iran and China" have learned from previous US elections and are better prepared to exploit opportunities to stoke unrest.
Those actors could draw on the same type of tools they have been using in the pre-election period — especially information and cyber operations — and may also consider physical threats and violence, the ODNI official added.
But the officials said US intelligence has not seen collaboration between Russia, China and Iran in election influence activities. And, while foreign actors might seek to disrupt the process on Election Day, feeding discontent, the voting system is secure enough that they could not alter the outcome.
"Some foreign actors also have the capacity to stoke protests and take violent mostly peaceful actions during this [post-election] period," the ODNI official said. "In particular, Iran and Russia are probably willing to at least consider tactics that would contribute to such violence."
The election is expected to be close. A Rooters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday showed Democratic US Vice President Kamala Harris
It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day
with a 46 percent to 43% lead over Republican former US president Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...

did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Russia, China and Iran previously have denied US election-meddling allegations.
USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The ODNI official said foreign actors were using social media and other online operations to influence presidential and congressional races, to denigrate some candidates or support others.
Some social media posts are likely to be generated by artificial intelligence, said that official, who briefed news hounds on condition of anonymity.
As an example, the ODNI official pointed to a post on social media platform X this month generated by what he called Russian influence actors that made a false allegation against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
 ...Kamala's smarmy-looking running mate, governor of Minnesota, who decided to retired rather than to deploy with his National Guard unit, then claimed to have been in Iraq and Afghanistan. One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness. ...
, who is Harris’ vice presidential running mate.
Intelligence agencies assessed that Russian influence actors created the content, the ODNI official said. A media review by the agencies showed "several indicators of manipulation" consistent with the actions of Russian actors, the official said.
That official said US intelligence concluded last weekend that the video was fake and the product of disinformation operatives, adding that it was consistent with ongoing Russian efforts to undermine the Democratic presidential ticket by fabricating allegations against Harris and Walz.
US intelligence agencies have been assessing for months that Russia would prefer that Trump retake the White House.
At Tuesday’s briefing for news hounds, intelligence officials said they expected more Russian amplification of protests if Harris wins the election.
"Russia would prefer the former president to win and they would seek to more aggressively undermine the presidency of the then-president elect [Harris]," the ODNI official said.
