Reaction from Iran to France's cyber attack accusations

Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted to France blaming Iran for cyber attacks in the country and stated that the accusations were "unfounded and biased" and were completely rejected.

In a written statement made by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it responded to the accusations made by the French government against Iran regarding the cyber attacks carried out in the country.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs completely rejects the French government's unfounded and biased accusations regarding Iran's involvement in so-called cyber activities in France and strongly condemns its policy of making accusations against Iran," the statement said.

The statement described France's accusations as "a very irresponsible and ridiculous measure to tarnish Iran's image and spoil its relations with other countries" and argued that this approach satisfied the United States and Israel, "the biggest violators" of international law.

In the statement, it was claimed that France "could not solve its own problems", including "systems that cannot even control the temperature of refrigerators", and that the government tried to "direct attention elsewhere by blaming foreign factors" with allegations against Iran.

In the statement to French officials, it was recommended that France "spend its resources to meet the livelihood and education needs of its own people, instead of spending large budgets to intervene in other countries."

Cyber ​​attacks targeting the cooling systems of hundreds of supermarkets in France in October caused food products to spoil and financial losses.

It was reported that similar problems were experienced in the refrigerator and freezer systems of some markets in Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland and Estonia on November 2.

Some businesses had to withdraw and destroy food products due to the rise in temperatures of refrigeration devices.

The French government held Iran responsible for cyber attacks in its country.

It was announced that the investigation into the events in Belgium was continuing and that there was no evidence that the attacks in question were attributed to Iran or another actor or that they were connected to the attacks in France.
