Trump: This Is Not Iran's Doing; The Problem Is Minnesota's Corrupt Governor

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 — U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed allegations that Iran was behind a cyberattack targeting American water facilities, saying Tehran has "far bigger problems" than the state of Minnesota and rejecting claims of Iranian involvement.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said, "This is not Iran's doing. Iran has much bigger issues than Minnesota." He instead blamed what he described as the "corrupt governor of Minnesota" for the situation, arguing that state-level failures—not foreign actors—were responsible.
