TEHRAN – Deputy Minister of Information, Communications and Technology (ICT) Ehsan Chitsaz said it aims to destabilize the sovereign state by Israeli cyberattacks targeting Iran’s critical infrastructure.
Condemning Israeli attacks on Iran, officials said Iran has experienced a widespread cyberattack that is supposed to target critical digital infrastructure, the country’s predecessor of Israeli airstrikes.
“Hybrid attacks represent the dangerous convergence of modern warfare tools. The attack emphasizes the illusion of digital evolution without digital security.”
Officials made a speech at the online address of the 4th Ministerial Conference on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) between member states of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) held in Karamai (China, China) on June 17th.
“Israel begins to attack my country amid ongoing diplomatic negotiations that are important for peace and lower nuclear tensions. The illegal and cruel attacks of the Zionist regime target residential areas and kill civilians.”
The house was demolished, sleeping children and women were killed, violating human rights and human values, Chitzaz further pointed out.
The war between Iran and Israel began after the Zionist regime began sweeping at Tehran’s residential buildings and nuclear sites early on Friday, two days before the sixth round of Iran and the US.
Subsequent Israeli attacks focus primarily on civilian infrastructure. The administration has so far as assassinated at least 224 civilians, several prominent scientists and military commanders.
SCO condemns military strike against Iran
The SCO has issued a statement denounced military strikes over Iran’s territory in Islamic Republic. Below is the text of the statement:
Members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) have expressed serious concern over the escalating tensions in the Middle East and strongly condemn Israel’s military strike on June 13, 2025 on the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Such positive action on civilian goals, including energy and transportation infrastructure that have resulted in civilian casualties, is a serious violation of international law and the UN Charter. They constitute violations of Iran’s sovereignty, damage regional and international security, and pose serious risks to global peace and stability.
SCO Members are firmly defending the resolution of the situation surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme only through peaceful, political and diplomatic means.
The SCO member states express sincere pacity to the people and government of Iranian Islamic Republic.
SCO Members strictly adhere to the principles and norms of the UN Charter and the SCO Charter, consider the inability to accept the illegal actions directed to SCO Members, and reaffirm their unwavering commitment to strengthening international peace and security.
