A British newspaper published a report saying Iran is preparing to obstruct the US midterm elections for Congress after attempting to interfere in the Israeli elections this week. The report quoted Iranian officials saying Tehran views the near-simultaneous elections in Israel and the United States as a rare opportunity, and spoke of efforts to recruit agents and hack election systems, while Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei commented on the Israeli elections.
Youm7 focused on the details of the British report and on the remark by the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, while Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath carried only a brief headline about Iran planning to hack the US elections without details.
