TEHRAN (Iran News) – Judiciary Spokesman said that Iran has always been one of the biggest victims of various forms of terrorism, including various types of cyber-attacks.
Speaking at a weekly presser held on Tuesday, Judiciary Spokesman Massoud Setayeshi touched upon U.S. terrorist activities aimed at imposing sanctions on the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and stressed: “During the past years, Iran has always been one of the biggest victims of various forms of terrorism, including various types of cyber-attacks.”
“These attacks were designed and carried out by the US administration and the Zionist regime, and in these attacks, Iran’s important infrastructure was damaged, which could have claimed people’s lives and destruction of properties, but it was neutralized by the measures of Iranian experts, He added.”
Setayeshi further stated: “The Americans are brazenly trying to apply a new pressure against Iran with a label that has always been abused by them, which is definitely doomed to failure and disgraceful for them.”
Albania cut diplomatic ties with Tehran after accused Iran of hacking government digital services and websites.
Iran has rejected the accusation that it was behind the attack as “baseless,” calling Albania’s decision to sever diplomatic ties “an ill-considered and short-sighted action.”
The two countries have been bitter foes since the Balkan state began hosting members of the terrorist “Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK)” on its soil over Washington’s request.
He added that this action had been born in line with protecting Iran’s national interests. Based on this, the document on ownership of the Greater and Lesser Tunbs and Bu Musa Island was issued under the name of the Islamic Republic of Iran government.
Iran reiterated its sovereignty over the three islands of Bu Musa, the Greater Tunb, and the Lesser Tunb in the Persian Gulf.
The islands of the Greater Tunb, the Lesser Tunb, and Bu Musa have historically been part of Iran, proof of which can be found and corroborated by countless historical, legal, and geographical documents in Iran and other parts of the world.
The Spokesman said that the assassins of Martyr Sayad Khodayi had been arrested, and legal order had been issued for them.
IRGC’s Colonel Sayyad Khodaei, a Military advisor for the Syrian Army and one of the Holy Shrine Defenders, was assassinated in an armed attack by two motorcyclists on Mojahedin-e-Eslam Street in Tehran in May.
The Spokesman, referring to the U.S. and the West’s procrastination toward the Vienna talks aimed at removing anti-Iran sanctions, called the move a U.S. artificial respiration to terrorist groups.
He further emphasized: “We expect the political institutions to stand up and deal decisively with appropriate and international legal provisions and measures.”
He also said that efforts are ongoing to release the Iranian Hajji, who was detained innocently by the Saudi government.
Saudis arrested Khalil Dardmand because he took a selfie photo next to Kaaba while holding a picture of Martyr Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
