Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is denying his country would interfere with the upcoming U.S. presidential election and says his government doesn’t have a preference in the race. The interview took place in New York, which Mr. Zarif visited this past week to attend meetings at the United Nations. When “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd noted that U.S. intelligence included Iran among the countries attempting to interfere with the U.S. election, Mr. Zarif responded, “We don’t have a preference in your election to intervene in that election.”“We don’t interfere in the internal affairs of another country,” Mr. Zarif said later. “The United States started that cyber war, with attacking our nuclear facilities in a very dangerous, irresponsible way that could’ve killed millions of people. You remember Stuxnet?” Mr. Zarif said.
