“Once again, we consider these hackneyed allegations to be groundless, biased, and to serve domestic political purposes in the United States, and we reject such accusations,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan'ani said on Friday.
His remarks came after US Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and some other American spying agencies raised accusations against certain countries, including Iran, of involving in efforts with the aim of influencing the outcome of the US presidential vote in November through cyberattacks.
“The US government, which spearheads illegal interference in the internal affairs of the other independent states and has a long list of such destructive measures on its record, cannot attribute its domestic problems and crises to other countries by making accusations against them or covering up the dark record of its extrajudicial actions and interference in the internal affairs of the independent states,” Kan'ani added.
The US elections is scheduled for November 5 and the winner will come to office in January.
