Iran claims to have hard drives from recent raid against opposition group compound in Europe

Amid Iranian regime reports that it obtained sensitive data about an opposition group in Albania both Tirana and Washington say those claims are untrue.

According to a July 3 report in the regime-controlled Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Sepehr Khalaji, head of Iran’s information council, tweeted that "part of the hard drives and cases" from the raid on the MEK had arrived in Iran.
