Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has criticized the White House following a recent intelligence report that revealed Iran's alleged attempts to sabotage former President Trump's presidential campaign. The report, disclosed during an Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) press briefing, stated that U.S. spy agencies had observed Tehran working to influence the election, utilizing online personas and propaganda to spread disinformation.
While the ODNI did not explicitly state that Iran was targeting Trump, an official mentioned that there had been no shift in Iran's preferences since 2020, indicating continued focus on the Republican candidate. Pompeo, in response to the findings, expressed his lack of surprise at Iran's actions, attributing them to the Biden-Harris administration's perceived policy of 'weakness and appeasement.'
