Iran said on Monday that no cyber attack against the Islamic republic has ever succeeded, after American media reported the United States launched one last week amid a standoff between the two countries.
“The media are asking about the veracity of the alleged cyber attack against Iran. No successful attack has been carried out by them, although they are making a lot of efforts,” telecommunications minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi said on Twitter without referring to any US attack.
US media on Saturday said Washington launched cyber attacks against Iranian missile control systems and a spy network this week after Tehran downed an American surveillance drone.
The Washington Post said that after the drone shooting US President Donald Trump authorised US Cyber Command to carry out a retaliatory cyber attack on Iran.
