Summary
Four major Iranian banks suffered service disruptions after a cyberattack hit the shared communications infrastructure linking Bank Melli, Bank Tejarat, Bank Saderat and the Export Development Bank of Iran.
Iran's banking coordination council said the breach was limited to that network, with no unauthorized access to customer information and no data deleted.
Technical teams activated protective measures that temporarily affected some banking services, while recovery work continued to restore normal operations.
State media carried the announcement, framing the incident as contained even as it exposed the vulnerability of shared banking infrastructure.
