The newly-designated spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Esmail Baghaei, has shrugged off an annual report by the US Department of Homeland Security regarding the use of artificial intelligence by some countries, including Iran, to spread fake or divisive information about the US presidential election as unfounded and rejected.

The spokesperson stressed, "These repetitive and baseless claims, which have been made by some US officials and institutions for some time, are politically-charged and have domestic political consumption."

Baghaei noted, "The U.S. government, which has a long history of illegal interference in the internal affairs of other countries, is not in a position to level such accusations against other countries."
