🔶 Iran Rejects France’s Allegations of Cyberattacks on Shops

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran described as “completely baseless and malicious” the allegations by the French government regarding Iran’s alleged involvement in cyber operations in that country. By condemning what it called “the worn-out practice of accusing Iran,” it accused Paris of trying to divert public opinion from its own policies toward Iran and the West Asian region.

In its statement, the ministry said that raising these allegations was an irresponsible move aimed at damaging Iran’s image and disrupting its relations with other countries. It claimed that this approach follows France’s previous repeated claims and is intended to divert public attention from this country’s policies—especially “its decades-long hosting of terrorist groups and support for the Palestinian genocide.”

Tehran also assessed these actions as being carried out in line with pleasing the United States and Israel, which it called “the biggest violators of international law.”
