Iran vehemently denied charges it is engaged in an alleged scheme to interfere in the upcoming U.S. presidential election by sending a flurry of threatening, fake emails to Democratic voters in multiple battleground states. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Wednesday both Iran and Russia have obtained US voter registration information in an effort to interfere in the election, including Iran posing as the far-right group Proud Boys to send intimidating emails to voters.  A spokesman for Iran’s mission to the United Nations, Alireza Miryousefi, denied Tehran had anything to do with the alleged voter intimidation.

“These accusations are nothing more than another scenario to undermine voter confidence, & are absurd. Iran has no interest in interfering in the U.S. election & no preference for the outcome. U.S. must end its malign and dangerous accusations against Iran.”

-Alireza Miryousefi, spokesperson for Iran mission to UN

Unlike the U.S., Iran does not interfere in other country's elections. The world has been witnessing U.S.' own desperate public attempts to question the outcome of its own elections at the highest level.1/2 https://t.co/8AOKvIZr1h
