UNITED NATIONS: Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations has responded to US allegations of Tehran's interference in the 2024 US presidential election.
In a statement on Monday, the Iranian mission rejected the allegations, calling them “baseless.”
The allegations are baseless, the mission said, adding that the Islamic Republic has no intention or motivation to interfere in the US elections.
If the US government is truthful about this claim, it should provide us with documents to get our response, the mission added in a statement.
In a joint statement, the FBI and several other US intelligence agencies said Iran was involved in hacking the campaign of Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the 2024 US presidential election, and in an attempt to hack the campaign of Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate.
"Such claims are unsubstantiated and devoid of any standing. If the US government is truthful to this claim, it should provide us with documents so that we can give our response," the statement said.
Earlier, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in a joint statement that Iran allegedly tried to interfere in the US presidential election by carrying out cyber attacks against the campaign headquarters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris. US intelligence believes that Tehran has "through social engineering and other efforts sought access to individuals with direct access to the presidential campaigns of both political parties."
Last week, the Iranian mission in New York rejected a report published by a US newspaper that claimed to have access to documents about Iran’s role in hacking the Trump campaign.
