DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—Iran’s leader said on Wednesday that a cyberattack that paralyzed every gas station in the country was designed to get “people angry by creating disorder and disruption,” as long lines still snaked around the pumps a day after the incident began.
Ebrahim Raisi’s remarks stopped short of assigning blame for the attack, which rendered useless the state-issued electronic cards that many Iranians use to buy subsidized fuel at the pump.
