The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Nasser Kanaani, rejected and strongly condemned the baseless accusations of the US National Security Council and the UK foreign ministry against the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding an alleged cyberattack on Albania.

Kanaani pointed out that the US and the UK, that had previously remained silent in numerous cyberattacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran’s infrastructures and even against its nuclear facilities, and had even directly or indirectly supported those measures, lack any legitimacy to level such accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The spokesperson of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned against any political adventurism against Iran with such ‘ridiculous excuses’ and expressed Iran’s complete readiness to deal with any possible conspiracy decisively and immediately that would make them feel regretful.

He added that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a country that has been repeatedly attacked by cyberattacks, is an important part of responsible international efforts to deal with the threat of cyberattacks.
