Three men connected to Iran have been indicted in relation to a hacking plot
against former President Donald Trump's campaign, the Department of Justice
announced Friday.




Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi are the three suspects
named in the case, according to a federal indictment unsealed Friday afternoon.

The indictment shows the trio are facing a long list of charges, including:
Conspiracy to Obtain Information from a Protected Computer; Defraud and Obtain a
Thing of Value; Commit Fraud Involving Authentication Features; Commit
Aggravated Identity Theft; Commit Access Device Fraud; and Commit Wire Fraud
While Falsely Registering Domains.



DOES IRAN'S HACKING OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN PROVE THEY WANT KAMALA HARRIS TO WIN
THE ELECTION? EXPERTS WEIGH IN

Three hackers with ties to Iran were indicted by the DOJ. (Background: Reuters)



The three hackers, who are accused of working for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps, were allegedly "engaged in a wide-ranging hacking campaign that
used spearphishing and social engineering techniques to target and compromise
the accounts of current and former U.S. government officials, members of the
media, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals associated with U.S.
political campaigns."



Last week, the U.S. revealed the Iranian hackers had obtained information on the
Trump campaign and tried to distribute it to people linked to the Biden campaign
and media organizations since June.

The federal government acknowledges that the Trump campaign has been a specific
and repeated target of Iran since he ordered the killing of Qasem Soleimani, the
former commander of the IRGC Qods Force.



Trump was briefed Tuesday about "real and specific threats" from Iran to
assassinate the Republican presidential candidate, according to his campaign. 




Iran’s aim to assassinate Trump is part of the Islamic Republic’s efforts to
"destabilize and sow chaos in the United States," Trump Campaign Communications
Director Steven Cheung said in a press release.

residency in northern Tehran the day after the inauguration ceremony of Iran's
new president, Masoud Pezeshkian.  (Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto via Getty Images)

"Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated
attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials
across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the
election is free from interference," Cheung said. 




This is a developing story and will be updated.
