Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations in New York has rejected claims by U.S. intelligence officials that Tehran sought to influence the U.S. presidential election, local media reports on Tuesday.
The remarks were made in a statement after U.S. intelligence officials on Monday claimed that Iran was working to “influence the U.S. presidential election and undermine Donald Trump’s bid to regain the White House,” the report said.
Iran’s permanent mission stressed that Tehran had no objective or activity to influence the U.S. election.
It added that a major part of such accusations were within the framework of the “psychological operations designed to artificially pep up election campaigns” in the United States.
The U.S. presidential election is scheduled for Nov. 5, 2024. (Xinhua/NAN).
