If Iran is behind the cyberattacks, why is it targeting European countries?
France suspects an Iranian cyber unit is behind attacks on supermarket cooling systems, raising questions about Iran's motives for targeting European nations. The attacks, which also affected Belgium, are part of a broader cyber conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the U.S. Experts question why Iran would strike countries that maintain a neutral stance in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Previous Iranian operations were primarily aimed at regional adversaries, and the current focus on Europe marks a significant shift. The lack of clear motives complicates the understanding of these cyberattacks, leaving security agencies puzzled about Iran's strategic goals.
