MNA � Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson dismissed allegations about Iran�s backing a cyber-attack against Australian Parliament, describing these claims as part of enemies� psychological war.

Bahram Ghasemi said late Saturday that Iran and Australia enjoy �good ties� and that both sides are eager to expand bilateral relations.

�Some are trying to rally regional and world public opinion against Iran,� he said, adding, �those who make such baseless allegations are trying to fuel Iranophobia across the globe.�

He went on to say that Iran has no activity in such areas and does not need to pursue such measures.

Ghasemi made the remark in response to a question about a report by Los Angeles-based Resecurity, obtained by NBC News, which claimed that the Feb. 8 hack of the Australian Parliament has been launched by an Iran-backed group. However, Australia has not formally attributed the attack to Iran.
