France Accuses Iranian Revolutionary Guard of Cyberattacks

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has accused the Iranian Revolutionary Guard of orchestrating cyberattacks against major French retail chains, which resulted in significant malfunctions in their refrigeration systems.

Barrot stated that Iran will face consequences for these actions, emphasizing France's firm stance against such hostile digital activities.

In a related legal development, the Paris public prosecutor's office has requested the issuance of international arrest warrants for leaders of a cyber unit linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Reports indicate that this incident is among the most disruptive cyberattacks recorded since last February.

The global landscape has seen a rise in similar attacks recently, targeting critical infrastructure including transportation systems, water facilities, and maritime vessels across various nations.
