Iran International:

US grand jury has indicted several Iranian nationals on charges related to hacking efforts targeting Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, according to a report by Politico on Thursday.

While the specific names of the defendants and the exact criminal charges remain undisclosed, the grand jury reportedly approved the indictment in secret on Thursday afternoon. An official announcement from the Department of Justice is expected as early as Friday.

The Trump campaign disclosed in August that its internal communications had been compromised, accusing the Iranian government of orchestrating the cyberattack.

US government agencies, in statements last week, alleged that Iranian hackers had disseminated stolen materials from Trump’s campaign to individuals involved with Democratic President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. The broader allegation suggested Tehran's attempts to influence the upcoming US elections.
