The Iranian regime has become more aggressive in seeking to sow discord inside the United States, according to Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, who warned that Tehran-linked actors were found to have encouraged anti-Israel protests and even provided financial support to demonstrators.
Ms. Haines issued the warning in a July 9 statement, noting that this was the first of a series of regular intelligence communications about various types of foreign malign activities as well as election security threats.
