Washington — The Biden administration imposed new sanctions on Russian and Iranian entities over their attempts to interfere in the 2024 election, the Treasury and State Departments announced Tuesday.
Specifically, the Treasury Department is imposing fresh sanctions on a subsidiary of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps known as the Cognitive Design Production Center, as well as the Moscow-based Center for Geopolitical Expertise and its director, Valery Mikhaylovich Korovin, affiliates of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate.
Bradley Smith, the Treasury Department's acting under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said the "governments of Iran and Russia have targeted our election processes and institutions and sought to divide the American people through targeted disinformation campaigns."
