Claim comes amid reports of foreign efforts to interfere in US presidential election.
US presidential candidate Donald Trump has accused Iran of hacking his campaign.
The Republican nominee’s campaign team issued a statement late on Saturday claiming that the Iranian government stole and distributed sensitive internal documents. The accusation came after Microsoft issued a report detailing foreign attempts to interfere in this year’s US election campaign.
The campaign team cited past tensions between Trump and Iran but did not provide direct evidence.
“These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our democratic process,” campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said.
