Iran on Tuesday (November 10, 2026) said French accusations that it was responsible for cyberattacks on supermarket fridges last month were \u201cbaseless\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran\u2019s Foreign Ministry categorically rejects the French government\u2019s baseless and one-sided accusations against Iran regarding alleged cyber activities in France,\u201d the Ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n

It added that it \u201cstrongly condemns this hackneyed policy of levelling accusations against the Islamic republic\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of French supermarkets were hit in the October 11 and 12 cyberattacks, which raised the temperatures in their refrigerators and freezers, forcing many to throw away entire inventories of perishable food.<\/p>\n

Similar incidents were then reported in at least 11 other European countries in early November.<\/p>\n

Along with summoning Iran\u2019s ambassador and seeking European-level sanctions, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said Tuesday that Paris would \u201crule nothing out and will take all measures \u2014 including those we may not disclose publicly \u2014 that we deem proportionate and necessary to deter any further attacks\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tehran meanwhile said it would \u201cnot hesitate to take necessary and appropriate measures to safeguard its national interests and security in the face of unlawful foreign activities\u201d.<\/p>\n

It added that France \u201cis merely projecting its own governance failures\u201d with these accusations.<\/p>\n

\u201cA government that cannot even manage the temperature of its own refrigerators now seeks to shift the blame onto foreign actors through these preposterous accusations,\u201d it continued.<\/p>\n

Also on Tuesday (November 10, 2026), the European Union said it would look to provide a \u201cswift and united response\u201d pending discussion with member states after France\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
