France is ‘shifting blame’ for cyberattack on supermarket fridges, Iran says

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said France is “shifting blame for its failures” by accusing an IRGC-affiliated cyber unit of hacking supermarket fridges earlier in October.

“Unable to manage fridges let alone addressing grievances of its people, French government is shifting blame for its failures onto others," Araghchi said in a post on X.

“Yes, Iran is powerful. But unlike France, we do not exercise power via support for massacres in Gaza or bombings of schools and hospitals," he said.
