Iran denied the allegations about interference in the US election

TEHRAN (Defapress) - Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani responded to accusations made by US Attorney General Merrick Garland that Iran, along with several other countries, has mounted an aggressive campaign to influence the outcome of the US elections.

"Once again, we reject these unfounded accusations, which serve domestic political purposes in the United States," he said on Friday.

He emphasized that US officials cannot remedy their country's deep-rooted structural, political, and social issues by shifting the blame onto others.

He noted that such accusations only obscure the United States's record of disruptive and unlawful actions against other countries.

The FBI and several other US intelligence agencies claimed in a joint statement that Iran has been involved in cyberattacks targeting the campaigns of both Republican candidate Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.
