Does Iran’s hacking of the Trump campaign prove they want Kamala Harris to win the election? Experts weigh in

Iran’s recent hack of the Trump campaign is an "explicit tipping of the scales" in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris, according to one former national security official.

Last week, the U.S. revealed 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.

"It’s no surprise, right?" Robert Greenway, former head of Middle East policy on the National Security Council, told Fox News Digital. "Iran perceives the return of Donald Trump and his policies, which brought them to the brink of financial collapse, as an existential threat."

Trump pulled the U.S. out of the 2015 Iran deal meant to stave off a nuclear Iran in exchange for softening of sanctions. Republicans argued the deal did not have enough enforcement.

After Biden rolled back sanctions on Iran, Greenway argued, the regime went from 500 centrifuges needed to make a nuclear bomb to 7,000. It went from 5% enriched uranium to 60% (90% is needed for a nuclear weapon.) It went from exporting 400,000 barrels of oil per day in 2019 under the Trump administration’s harsh sanctions to 1.7 million barrels per day today.

"They've made a tremendous amount of money. They have had doors opened by the U.S. administration."

Reports also suggest renewed activity in two nuclear weaponization sites in Iran – Sanjarian and Golab Dareh.

But another Middle East expert shrugged off the incidents, suggesting it could have been as simple as a Trump campaign staffer inadvertently clicking on a phishing scam.

"The Iranians carry out a bunch of cyberattacks all the time," said Aaron Stein,
