Russia and Iran may try to encourage violent protests in the U.S. after next month's election, senior intelligence officials warned Tuesday, citing two recent examples of foreign intelligence agencies seeking to sow discord ahead of the vote.

Russia, China and Iran are intent on fanning divisive narratives to divide Americans ahead of the Nov. 5 U.S. elections and may consider fomenting violence after voters go to the polls, U.S. intelligence officials said on Tuesday.

Foreign powers are likely to aim to promote protests disputing the presidential-election results, officials said.

The strikes hit new neighborhoods in the capital, signaling the widening scope of Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah, even as U.S. officials hailed diplomatic efforts.
