Iran’s Foreign Minister said in a meeting with the head of the country’s Passive Defense Organization that he will pursue cyber attacks against the country’s infrastructure legally in international forums. Western countries have also repeatedly accused Iran of cyber attacks.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran’s Foreign Minister, said on Tuesday, December 28, in a meeting with General Jalali, head of the country’s Passive Defense Organization, that legal and political follow-ups regarding cyber attacks on the country’s infrastructure will be pursued by the Foreign Ministry in international forums.
Iran’s Foreign Minister did not specify which countries conducted cyber attacks on Iran’s infrastructure or to which international body he would file a complaint against which country or countries.
However, officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran have previously repeatedly accused Israel of cyber attacks.
Some Western countries and American and Israeli officials have also accused the Islamic Republic of Iran of cyber attacks.
Damian Hinds, Britain’s Security Minister, announced on Monday, December 27, that in addition to Russia and China, he has also included the Islamic Republic of Iran on the list of hostile countries to Britain.
According to Hinds, these countries openly use their secret services and cyber attacks against Britain.
About a month ago, the United States, Britain, and Australia also accused Iran in a joint statement of targeting transportation infrastructure, health systems, and public service sectors in the United States with cyber attacks.
Officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran have consistently rejected such accusations.
