Iran is reportedly planning to interfere in the US midterm elections on November 3 and allegedly attempted to disrupt Israel's recent general election through cyber operations and recruitment plans. Iranian officials view these elections as opportunities to weaken adversaries and limit their military capabilities. The potential for a prolonged political stalemate in Israel could benefit Iran by hindering strategic decisions, while in the US, Tehran hopes for Democratic gains to curb President Trump's military actions. Iran has also threatened broader retaliation for future strikes.
