Tehran: Sepah Bank, one of Iran's main state-owned banks, has been targeted by a cyberattack that interrupted online services, according to the Fars news agency.

The report said the bank expects to resolve the problem in the coming hours.

An Israel-linked hacking group called Predatory Sparrow - or Gonjeshke Darande in Persian - has claimed responsibility for the cyberattack, saying it 'destroyed' bank data.
