the US election to Trump would end aid to Ukraine and massively improve it's ability to achieve its goals over Ukraine. Its cyber-enabled influence operations take a different form because of those different end goals. It's not just about technical capabilities. It makes far more sense tactically if Iran's primary goal is seeking to smear or gain kompromat on particular individuals to influence, whichever the outcome of the election.

I'm going to do a 🧵 because
@abcnews asked about the difference in tactics between Iran/Russia observed by Microsoft. My comment elaborated on different goals. If you can't sway a whole election or this wouldn't achieve high end goals (such as shifting US support from Israel) it seems likely the aim is to influence or smear who might be close to a future administration, on both sides. The tactics reflect these goals. Russia has a different goal: swaying #hacking https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-24/iran-russia-china-election-interference-in-united-states-2024/104252926
