Iran Central Bank Denies Role in Bank Tech Provider Selection

Iran's central bank on Monday clarified that it was not involved in choosing technology service providers for four banks that experienced recent service disruptions. According to the bank, higher authorities allowed those banks to work with other active IT firms to restore services quickly.

The central bank dismissed as baseless any suggestion that it had directed or recommended a specific company. It also warned that it reserves the right to take legal action against individuals or entities spreading such claims without evidence.

The statement comes amid speculation about the central bank's role in the selection process, though no further details on the banks or disrupted services were provided.
