TEHRAN, Oct 26 (NNN-TASNIM) – Iran’s Guardian Council of Constitution, yesterday dismissed allegations, regarding his country’s “interference” in the U.S. upcoming presidential elections.
“Iran announced repeatedly that it does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. Moreover, it sees no need for such interference,” Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, spokesman for Iran’s highest legislative body was quoted as saying.
Likewise, the U.S. presidential election is a domestic issue of the Americans, in which Iran does not intend or need to interfere, Kadkhodaei said.
The remarks were a reaction to recent comments by Director of U.S. National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, who alleged that Iran and Russia obtained voter registration information, in an attempt to undermine confidence in the U.S. presidential elections.
On Thursday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned Switzerland’s ambassador to Tehran, who represents U.S. interests in Iran, in protest to the claims Iran meddles in the U.S. election.
