Iran Denies Allegations of US Election Interference
The Iranian mission has released a statement refuting claims made by American intelligence and cyber agencies regarding Iran’s alleged interference in the 2024 US presidential election. The statement emphasized that Iran has no intention or motive to meddle in the election.
Addressing the accusations, the Iranian mission challenged the US government to provide evidence to support its claims, reiterating Iran’s stance on cyber attacks as defensive measures against external threats.
Recent reports from FBI and other US intelligence agencies suggested Iran’s involvement in hacking attempts targeting both Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. However, the Iranian mission at New York has rejected these claims, citing Iran’s commitment to cyber defense.
Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN has consistently denied any involvement in US election interference, labeling the accusations as “absurd, baseless, and biased.” The statement underscores Iran’s position as a victim of cyber attacks and reiterates its non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations.
