SC’s Haley says Iran tried to hurt her presidential campaign as part of meddling efforts

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, a potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said on Sunday that Iran tried to interfere in her campaign

Haley made the allegations on Twitter, accusing Iran of trying to "spread disinformation" and "amplify negative content" about her.

She did not provide any evidence to support her claims, but said that she had been briefed on the matter by U.S. intelligence officials.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Justice declined to comment on Haley's allegations.

Haley's allegations come as the U.S. and Iran are engaged in a tense standoff over Iran's nuclear program

The Biden administration has been trying to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which was designed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

However, Iran has refused to return to compliance with the deal, and has continued to enrich uranium in violation of its terms.

The U.S. has accused Iran of using its nuclear program as a cover for developing nuclear weapons, which Iran denies.

Haley's allegations are the latest in a series of accusations of foreign interference in U.S. elections

In 2016, the U.S. intelligence community concluded that Russia had interfered in the presidential election in an attempt to help Donald Trump win.

More recently, the U.S. has accused Russia of trying to interfere in the 2020 election, and has also accused China of trying to interfere in the 2022 midterm elections.

Foreign interference in U.S. elections is a serious threat to the integrity of the democratic process,

It is important for the U.S. to take steps to prevent foreign governments from interfering in its elections.
