      Perhaps, but I doubt they see a meaningful difference. I doubt they are involved in this leak at all. Just like Russia was not involved in the other one. I think by blaming the leak on iran they made trump more anti Iranian. So that the us deep state interests are secured no mater who wins.

        I mean Trump is the guy who destroyed the Nuclear Deal and killed their top general.
        I wouldn’t find it odd for them to take it personally.

          The thing is, Obama wasn’t following the nuclear deal either, and even if he had, the sanctions really started to kick in during the Obama era, then there is ISIS, Yemen, etc, Obama was much worse.

          it doesn’t line up with the amount of restraint they’ve exhibited with Israel. Trying to influence the election is just the sort of thing that will get both parties to back an Iranian-Israeli conflict even harder
