Russia and Iran may try to incite post-election violence, intelligence officials warn

Russia and Iran may try to incite violence or disruptive protests in the U.S. after the election, U.S. intelligence officials say.

An unclassified assessment released Tuesday says the U.S. intelligence community “is increasingly confident that Russian actors are considering—and in some cases implementing—a broad range of influence efforts timed with the election. Some of these are aimed at inciting violence and calling into question the validity of democracy as a political system, regardless of who wins.”
