According to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcaster (IRIB), Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani said on Monday that as the US National Security Adviser John Bolton had revealed last week, the United States is carrying out cyber operations \u201cto say to Russia, or anybody else that\u2019s engaged in cyberoperations against us, you will pay a price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shamkhani said that the US cyberoperations against other countries is nothing new and the hostile country has a long history of carrying out such operations.<\/p>\n

The top Iranian security official added that a large and complicated CIA cyber espionage network had recently been discovered and dismantled.<\/p>\n

He added that the dismantled network was a significant part of CIA operational capacity\u00a0in target states, which was identified by Iranian intelligence apparatuses and hit.<\/p>\n

He further pointed out that Iran and many other countries in the world have formed an \u2018international anti-spying network\u2019 against the United States, adding \u201cwe provided the information on the exposed network to some other allied countries in which it had been operating which resulted in the exposing and dismantling of the US intelligence officers network and arrest and conviction of some CIA agents\u00a0in different countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shamkhani also noted that some details of the case had already been disclosed by the CIA itself, calling on the Iranian Intelligence Ministry to publish the related videos and confessions in near future.<\/p>\n

The top Iranian security official added that Iran as the guarantor of security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz has so far provided initiatives to the regional countries to reduce the tensions, while noting that the US intervention\u00a0has widened the gaps between the regional countries.<\/p>\n

With regard to the 10th International Meeting of High Represisntatives for Security Issues, which will kick off tomorrow in Ufa, Russia, he said that the US abnormal behavior in breaching international agreements would be one of the major topics that would be discussed in the Russia-hosted summit.<\/p>\n

As it has been reported earlier today, Shamkhani\u00a0will leave for Russia on Tuesday to attend the meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
