The US Embassy in Tirana warned on Wednesday that Iran-linked groups could target US-linked entities or Iranian opposition elements in Albania. But Albanian authorities dismissed this as “speculation.”

The embassy urged American citizens in Albania to "exercise increased vigilance."

In a statement, the Embassy said that Iran-linked groups "may also target common places, such as tourist sites, shopping malls, hotels, clubs and restaurants."

However, the Albanian Government's Media and Information Agency told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that Albanian law enforcement agencies "do not have any concerning information regarding this speculation by the American embassy."

She added that the US Embassy "regularly issues such alerts, even when opposition groups protest, burning trash cans or throwing Molotov cocktails to appear in photos in foreign newspapers."

"So, we invite American citizens not to miss any of the wonderful opportunities that Albania offers, with its countless tourist sites, its unrivaled hospitality, and its impeccable food," the agency's response states.

The US Embassy's warning came a few weeks after hackers linked to Iran carried out cyberattacks on state institutions in Albania, and after the Albanian Parliament declared Iran a state sponsor of terrorism.

The announcement comes just weeks after hackers linked to Iran carried out cyberattacks on state institutions in Albania, and after the Albanian Parliament declared Iran a state sponsor of terrorism.

Relations between Iran and Albania have been tense and practically frozen since Albania offered members of the Iranian opposition group, MEK, safe haven over a decade ago.

Albania also supports the United States and Israel's war against Iran, which began on February 28. Iran has responded by carrying out attacks on Israel and American bases in the Middle East region.
