The U.S. Treasury Department has announced fresh sanctions against Iranian and Russian entities accused of attempting to interfere in American elections.

These sanctions are part of ongoing efforts to protect the integrity of the electoral process and counter disinformation campaigns aimed at sowing division among the U.S. populace.

According to U.S. officials, these campaigns have sought to undermine democratic institutions and manipulate public opinion through targeted misinformation.

The sanctions are intended to hold accountable those responsible for these actions and to deter future interference in U.S. elections.
