X suspends 13,000 accounts linked to Iran, China and Russia 'targeting US politics'

The social media platform X has suspended more than 13,000 accounts identified as part of three distinct foreign influence operations. These networks, which the platform links to Iran, China, and Russia, were reportedly engaged in activities aimed at influencing political discourse within the United States.

The suspensions were carried out in anticipation of US midterm elections. According to the platform, the accounts were designed to target American political debate across the entire ideological spectrum, prompting the intervention to mitigate foreign interference in domestic political processes.
