Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is denying his country would interfere with the upcoming US presidential election and says his government doesn't have a preference in the race.

In an interview to air Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Zarif also accuses the U.S. of initiating a cyberwar with his country and warns that "any war the United States starts it won't be able to finish."
When "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd noted that US intelligence included Iran among the countries attempting to interfere with the US election, Zarif responded, "We don't have a preference in your election to intervene in that election."
"But there is a cyber war going on."
