Abolkam Sadaki, of the Government Information Technology Organization, said several government bodies had shut down Internet services as a precautionary measure following the attack, which he described as "significant and far-reaching".
He said cyberattacks were under investigation.
Iran says it is alert to cyber attacks, which it has previously accused the United States and Israel of carrying out.
In May, it was reported that Israel was responsible for a widespread cyber attack that hit the port of Bender Abbas in southern Iran, in response to Iranian action against Israel's water infrastructure.
