Iran denies role in fridge hack, France summons ambassador

Iran has denied accusations from France regarding its involvement in a cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration units, calling the claims baseless. The attack, which occurred in October, disrupted operations in around 700 supermarkets, leading to spoiled goods and some fires. France's Foreign Minister stated that all options are on the table for a response, including potential sanctions at the European level. Tehran has threatened to retaliate if sanctions are imposed, accusing France of deflecting its own governance failures. An investigation into the cyber unit linked to Iran's IRGC is ongoing, with arrest warrants requested for its officials.
