Iran denies US charges of cyber-attack brought against its citizens

Teheran

IRAN has dismissed cyber-attack charges brought against seven of its citizens by US prosecutors, accusing Washington of putting millions of Iranians in danger with its own attacks on Iran's nuclear programme.

Foreign ministry spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari told reporters that the US "is not in any position to charge citizens of other countries, not least Iran's, without providing any documentary evidence", according to the semi-official Iranian Students' News Agency on Saturday.
