Ford School professor, Javed Ali, said in response to Iran's attacks on American elections infrastructure, "This is just the latest evolution of what they’ve already been doing for that stretch of time." Ali likened it to what Russia did in 2016 by saying "Iran has followed the same playbook for the most part."
