“Iran has been a victim of various aggressive cyber operations against its infrastructure, public service centers, and industries,” the mission said in response to inquiries about Microsoft’s allegations of Iranian interference in the upcoming US vote.
“Iran’s cyber capabilities are defensive and proportionate to the threats it faces,” it added.
The mission to the UN in New York underlined, “Iran has no aims or activities to sway the US elections. Much of these accusations fall within the framework of psychological operations to artificially energize election campaigns.”
