Customers at Bank Melli, Bank Tejarat, Bank Saderat, and the Tose'eh Saderat bank continue to face service disruptions and payment failures, according to Iranian Telegram channels. The state-run Fars news agency has launched a campaign calling on authorities to resolve the problems at the state-owned banks.
Customers at four major Iranian banks — Bank Melli, Bank Tejarat, Bank Saderat, and Tose'eh Saderat — are still experiencing service disruptions and payment failures, according to Iranian Telegram channels. The outages, which have persisted for days, affect money transfers and credit card payments.
The state-run Fars news agency has now launched a campaign urging the government to resolve the problems at the state-owned banks. As The Zioneer reported, the banking system has been hit by a series of cyberattacks since early June, with the most recent wave affecting at least eight institutions and prompting state television to acknowledge attacks on the three largest banks. The central bank admitted on June 21 that the cyberattack on four banks had not been fully resolved. The Iranian Telegram channels framing the current campaign as "the regime demanding the regime solve the regime's problems" underscores the ironic nature of the situation.
