🔻Iran calls France’s allegation of a “cyberattack by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps” on store freezers “baseless and malicious.”

In a statement by Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it said: “Raising these baseless and malicious claims by the French government is tantamount to shifting blame for their weaknesses in governance, their inability to meet people’s demands, and their failure to address shortcomings in the systems of running the country—shortcomings that are even incapable of controlling the temperature of store freezers. They are seeking to shift the blame by making petty accusations against foreign actors.”

Previously, the French government summoned the Iranian ambassador in response to what it described as the role of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in a cyberattack on French stores.

Jean-Noël Barrot, France’s foreign minister, told state television that in addition to summoning the ambassador and imposing sanctions on Iran, Paris will not hold back from any action it deems necessary: “We do not rule out any option, and we will take all actions that, in our view, are appropriate and necessary to prevent further attacks, including actions that we may not announce publicly.”
