Iran: we did not hack the refrigerators of French supermarkets

Iran's Foreign Ministry rejected France's accusations regarding alleged cyber activities, calling them unfounded and one-sided. This response follows French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot's claims that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was behind recent cyberattacks on French supermarket refrigerators. Barrot described the attacks as unprecedented in scale and aggression, advocating for European sanctions against the perpetrators. Last month, numerous supermarket refrigerators across France malfunctioned, causing millions of euros in damages. Similar cyberattacks were reported in seven other countries last week, but their connection remains unclear.
