Iran denies allegations of meddling in US election

SANAA, Oct. 22 (YPA) -Spokesman for Iranian mission to the United Nations (UN) Alireza Miryousefi denied allegations of meddling in the US election.

“Unlike the US, Iran does not interfere in other country’s elections,” Miryousefi tweeted late on Wednesday.

Miryousefi wrote in response to remarks made by John Ratcliffe, the director of the US national intelligence, that Iran and Russia are seeking to influence the election in the United States.

“The world has been witnessing US’ own desperate public attempts to question the outcome of its own elections at the highest level,” the Iranian spokesman said.

He also called the accusation as a scenario to undermine confidence of the voters.

This is not the first time Americans have accused other countries of interfering in their elections, and US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the election is rigged and has sought to undermine its integrity if it loses.
